Review of School Wellness Activities (2009-2010)

Review:
The school wellness committee has accomplished quite a lot this school year.
- Completed the School Health Index Assessment (concerning nutrition)
- Brainstormed and compiled ideas into an action plan
- Began action plan activities!

Healthy Snack Cart
The Health Snack Cart went over VERY well with students, teachers, administration, and parents. Evaluations were compiled, and based on the positive responses, a policy is in the works for the snack cart for next school year.

Taste Testing in the Cafeteria
Head Cook, Becky Holt, and her staff had a very busy spring with nutrition activities. Becky and the Administration went above and beyond to make the taste testing successful. Items were: Chicken Wrap, a BBQ Turkey on a whole wheat bun, Whole Wheat Pizza, Cheesy Cornbread, and Apple-Cucumber Salad. Taste testing will continue next school year, and based on results, items will be added into the lunch menu.

Safe Routes to School Webinar

The Webinar will talk about three recent grant recipients of the National Center for Safe Routes to School mini-grant program (One being from MN!). It will talk about the opportunity for mini-grants, and how the mini-grants have helped these communities.

Since Moose Lake School will possibly be pursuing a Safe Routes to School plan in the future, and this would be a beneficial webinar for anyone interested!
