Wellness at Shepardson
Catch the Wellness Wave
Shepardson Elementary is excited to join the PSD Board of Education in modeling healthy schools. Many classrooms are implementing some of the suggested ideas. As a building, we are encouraged to use non-food rewards. Earning a class kickball game is an example of healthy “reward”. Sending a healthy snack and healthy lunch also reinforces wellness practices. Increased hand washing is always a good idea! Several classrooms are also offering some GREAT suggestions in place of a sugary birthday treat. Shepardson has also started a wonderful birthday book program in our library. We encourage you to find out about the suggestions/classroom practices from your child’s teacher regarding healthy snacks, parties, and other wellness initiatives. We know that children who are physically active and who eat well-balanced meals are more likely to learn more readily in the classroom. Working together, we can reinforce healthy habits with our children!
