Creating A School Wellness Committee
One way to activate a culture of wellness in your school is through a wellness committee. If your school does not have a wellness committee, perhaps consider forming one.
Step 1 - Identify Potential Members
Between 6-12 members including school staff, students, families, and community members
Members should represent the diversity of the community
Look for members with influence in the school and community and with a passion to children's health
Step 2 - Recruiting
Reach out to your potential committee members.
Committee needs may change over time so be prepared to revisit this step if goals evolve.

Step 3 - Get to Work!
Running a wellness committee takes consistent care and attention.
