Wellness Committee
Supporting Healthy Kids and a Healthy School Community
Jefferson’s Wellness Committee is dedicated to fostering a healthy learning environment in which our students can thrive. We promote physical, social, and emotional well-being through initiatives that make a meaningful difference in students’ everyday experiences, from advocating for additional shade and sun protection to encouraging healthy food options at school events.
By bringing together families, students, teachers, staff, and community partners, we work to build a culture of wellness and inspire healthy habits that extend beyond the school day.

What do we do?
Our wellness efforts focus on practical ways to support the health and well-being of Jefferson students throughout the school day and at school events.
Create More Shade
We advocate for additional shade on campus to give students more comfortable, sun-protected spaces to play, gather, and spend time outdoors.
🌳
Promote Sun Safety
We work to make sun protection easier and more accessible for Jefferson students, including providing sunscreen and encouraging healthy sun-safety habits.
☀️
Support Healthy Food Choices
We encourage nutritious food and snack options at school events while finding ways to make healthy choices appealing and accessible to students and families.
🍎
Support Social & Emotional Well-Being
Wellness goes beyond physical health. We support efforts that help students feel connected, supported, included, and emotionally well at school.
💛
Identify New Wellness Opportunities
We listen to families, students, and staff and look for new ways to improve wellness on campus, from small changes that make an immediate difference to larger, long-term projects.
