SPS Wellness Plan
The SPS wellness plan reflects the goals of Health People 2020. These goals are mainly for schools, but they can affect everyone including parents.
Education
One way Healthy People 2020 plan to promote health and wellness is by educating students on it. If students know the importance and benefits of good health then there is higher chance they will work to be healthy.
Community garden
Another plan to promote health is by adding a community garden. This will give the whole community a chance to promote wellness by allowing them to work together and make a garden that will provide fresh fruits and vegetables for everyone.
School kitchen health inspections
The SPS wellness plan will promote health by inspecting the school kitchens two or three times per school year. Doing this will make sure the kitchens are clean and foods are kept in the right environment.
Vending machines
One main goal of the SPS Wellness Plan is to encourage students to make healthier choices when choosing what to eat or drink. This water bottle can represent replacing soda and Gatorade with water in vending machines.
Distribution of school menus
The SPS Wellness Plan wants to get families of the students involved in their health. One way they want to accomplish it is by letting parents know what is being served at school so they can add their input.
