Health & Wellness Initiatives

Posted Wednesday, August 29, 2007

As part of the national initiative for health and wellness, All Saints is modifying some practices that have been in place for a number of years. Beginning this week, in accordance with the national guidelines, students will attend recess prior to eating lunch. For example, students in the middle school will begin recess at 11:15 a.m. and then report to the cafeteria for lunch beginning at 11:35 a.m.

Secondly, in an effort to reduce the number of non-nutritional snacks in the classrooms, individual celebrations of birthdays will no longer take place. Rather, each classroom will host a monthly celebration of birthdays at which special treats will be provided as coordinated by the teacher and classroom parents.
