Wellness Program
The main components of our Wellness Program are:
- Student & family education with the help of our Public Health Nurse.
- Breakfast Snack Program every morning available to all students, staff and volunteers
- Parent education to help all families maintain wellness. We have a diverse resource section in the library. Materials can be signed out on various topics.
- Community relationship-building with businesses, clubs, The Delisle Seniors, associations, and our community in general.
Student & Family Education: Our Wellness Committee tries to incorporate health and wellness themes into our monthly planning. As well, we are exposing the students to a variety of different foods to expand their understanding. Articles are included in the school newsletter which care givers may find helpful.
Breakfast Snack Program: Breakfast snacks such as muffins, cheese, or yogurt will be available for all students, staff and volunteers every morning. The items are prepared by staff and students and available off breakfast carts in the hallways first thing each morning. We are grateful for our small but mighty dedicated group of volunteers.
Community Relationship Building: “It takes a village to raise a child”, a well known proverb couldn’t be more relevant today. We want our businesses, clubs, parents, seniors, grandparents, RCMP, Fire Department, Town Council, and community members to be part of these children’s lives. Our partnerships are a huge part of a supportive educational community. We are so thankful to the many people who have already given so generously to our program. Please support these people who have chosen to support our children. If you are interested in making a donation to the Breakfast program, please let us know. Donations are receipted for income tax purposes. Thank you for your generosity.
Volunteering is a wonderful way to become part of the school community. We encourage you to give some thought to the talents and gifts you have to share with us. It is a great way to meet people if you are new to the school and/or community.
We look forward to working with each of you this year.
We could not run a breakfast program each morning without the endless volunteerism and generosity of families and businesses.
