St. Patrick's School Health and Wellness Committee
Submitted By: Michelle Sauvé
At St. Patrick’s Elementary School in Medicine Hat, the healthy choice is the easy choice.
The school’s Health and Wellness Committee has been working with staff, students, parents and administration for over four years on initiatives such as fitness nights for parents, offering fruits and veggies as another option on treat days and a new “Recess Before Lunch” program. The committee and school has also helped students “step it up” with their efforts in walking programs like Kilometers for Kids, Walking Across Canada, and the TELUS Walking School Bus. Now that students, staff and families at St. Pat’s are eating healthier and moving more, the Health and Wellness Committee is sharing their experiences with other school councils in their division and offering support to parents wanting to start their own Health and Wellness Committees!
