Through the wellness committee and the twoyear, $100,000 Thriving Schools Partnership Grant from Kaiser, the school district has been able to engage its student population in more physical activities while encouraging staff and students to eat healthier. The wellness committee was established a little more than a year ago but was not very well organized. Today the committee consists of 18 members with a representative from each school and includes some parents, a couple of principals and one of the district’s board members. “Having a wellness committee is not mandatory but it is something that we wanted to do,” Director of Nutrition Services for the Hawthorne School District Anna Apoian said. “We actually started with a school-site assessment at each school to see exactly where we are at, what things we were doing well and where we need to go.” Through a series of recess observations between December 2014 and January 2015 using SOPLAY, a tool designed for observing physical activity in free play settings such recess and lunch at schools, students from K-5th grade were monitored during morning and afternoon recess. The findings revealed that: activity levels were consistently sedentary for a majority of students across all schools and grade levels; there were few structured activities offered across all schools and several schools had insufficient or no equipment available to students, among other findings. Developing a culture of physical activity has not been an easy task but the response by staff and students in schools across the district has been positive. With the grant funds the district was able to provide missing schoolyard equipment, as well as training personnel that would help staff and committee members set up long-term activities. “Most of it is paying for the training of playground supervisors and teacher training as well as some playground equipment,” Apoian said. “The point of the grant is to find practices that are sustainable once the funds are gone.” So far the wellness committee has been able to update the district’s wellness policy, has reviewed fundraisers for profitability, ease and health, and discussed employee wellness programs. Moving forward it is uncertain if the district will re-apply for the Kaiser grant; however, Apoian does plan to apply for minigrants designed to obtain playground supplies for kids at Ramona Elementary. “The grant helped us to organize a group of people that will sustain once the funding is gone,” Apoian said. “To the wellness committee, it will be up to the sites to set up a little bit of money, maybe from the LCAP fund, in order to support their wellness representatives. I think that will make the committee more sustainable.” Other activities kicked off by the Kaiser Grant included a teacher survey, youth survey [regarding food and physical activity questions], kitchen changes, active recess implementation and teacher training for K-3 for COPA, as well as playground supervisory trainings. Future plans include having parents from school site councils become members of the wellness committee, have the committee meet more often and create a sense of empowerment among representatives in order to kick off healthy changes at all schools. For instance, Eucalyptus Elementary has “Think Fit Thursdays” where parents, teachers and students walk outside for 25 minutes to the sound of music. At Jefferson, there has been a reduction in the presence of candy, spicy chips and soda on the campus, as well as in-class recess breaks, afterschool hockey for 4th and 5th grade students. Bud Carson is now offering afterschool activities such as cross country for boys and girls, flag football, boys and girls soccer and basketball, cheerleading and girls volleyball. HMS has kicked off a running club and an organic garden has been set up to promote healthy eating, while Prairie Vista Middle Schools has established a checkout system of equipment which has caused an increase in more students playing basketball, football, handball, soccer, volleyball and Frisbee. Part of the movement to promote health includes staff, as much as students, and the grown ups have done their part. There are currently 212 employees engaging in the fitness challenge, having logged in 700 hours of exercise in one week. “The wellness committee wanted to do something for employee wellness and we started the team fitness challenge,” Apoina said. “I was so surprised that I put this out there and got fast responses.” • To appear in next week’s paper, submit your Classifed Ad by Noon on Tuesday.
