The Student Services Committee met for the first time this year. Thirty-five staff members, parents, and community members gathered to talk about what our community is doing for our students.
Mrs. Georgette Rader started the meeting by addressing the needs for AIDS instruction in the schools. Once the new Health and Wellness curriculum is released from the state, health teachers from the high school and junior high will meet with representatives from the elementary school to create a K-12 curriculum in this area.
Representatives from the Bowen Center took the podium next and informed the gathering on the Student's Assistance program recently established.
Melissa Shanks, Sue Stinson, and John Barron gave excellent reports on wellness in the PE and Health Classes. Mrs. Stinson even had Mr. Tyree take off his shoes and socks and have his body-fat index taken. The results are secret! Mrs. Rader talked about wellness from the nurse's perspective and Mrs. Burnham gave a report on our healthy-lunch program.
The group will meet again on September 7, 2005. Anyone who has an agenda suggestion should contact Dan Tyree.
