Introduction
This document came out of a meeting on December 8, 2005, called “Keeping StudentsHealthy.” The meeting, convened by the Comprehensive School Health Committee ofthe Arlington Public Schools, was designed to get people talking and sharinginformation on programs, activities, events, and ideas aimed at improving the health andwell-being of Arlington’s children.
The gathering drew together 47 individuals from 16 elementary schools, 3 middleschools, 1 middle/high school, and 3 high schools. Also attending the meeting were twoSchool Board members and representatives from various divisions of the ArlingtonPublic Schools as well as Arlington’s Department of Human Services and itsDepartment of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources. Representatives of twoprivate organizations also attended.
This document lists all the programs mentioned during the meeting, as well as programsnoted on surveys that participants filled out before the meeting. Many of these programsare new. Some are large-scale, involving an entire school, while others are small,focusing on one group of children. There’s also a wish list at the end of the document,which includes ideas for programming that participants said they would like to seeimplemented.
It should be noted that this list of health and wellness projects is not intended to beexhaustive. Rather it reflects those projects that were described by the participants inthe December 8 meeting. Every school in Arlington was invited to send representativesto the meeting and most did so.
We hope that people whose children attend Arlington schools and those who work inthe schools can use this document as a resource to help them implement health andwellness projects in their schools. By reading through the listings on these pages, youcan find ideas for your own school. And by making contact with the people listed withthose ideas that interest you, you can learn more about how to implement the programs,what obstacles to anticipate, and what ideas you can use to streamline your ownproject.
It is our hope that this meeting was just the start of a conversation on health andwellness that continues for some time to come.
