Feed Your Community’s Soul with Nutritional Services
FIELD believes that for students to have the opportunity to achieve personal, academic, developmental, and social success, we need to create a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment at every level and in every setting and that means healthy nutrition.
Wellness Policy
FIELD developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the overall health and well-being of our students. The policy was adopted in 2020 to inform our students of the various options available to them and further support their wellness goals. These ongoing efforts are reviewed by the School Wellness Committee which includes teachers, students, administrators, mental health and social services staff, along with representatives of the school’s nutrition program. Our committee meets twice a year to assess the program and look for ways to better incorporate habits that support a healthy lifestyle for not only our students, but the staff and community at large.
Sharing the Wellness Message
One of our goals at FIELD-EPIC is to share the message of nutrition and wellness via our organization’s website that emphasizes the importance of nutrition and physical and mental fitness. Here, we provide information on the nutrition and fitness for teachers and students, as well as a variety of learning tools.
Key Areas of our Wellness Policy
Balance is essential for any Wellness Policy. Key areas include:
- Nutrition Education
- Physical activity
- Other school-based activities that are designed to promote student wellness.
