Since implementing a district-wide wellness policy, Derby Public Schools have made many healthful changes for our students. Some successes to date include:
- Second graders throughout the district have enjoyed a program called The “Unsinkables.” Learning to stay active and healthy, these young students are provided swim lessons and nutrition education in a fun setting.
- To help educate families on healthy alternatives, schools throughout the district are holding building-wide health fairs and staff wellness programs.
- From the website and school newsletters to posters and brochures, information regarding nutrition, physical fitness and tobacco cessation is being shared throughout the school year.
- Using the nutritional guidelines, positive changes have been made to the foods offered in school meals as well as the foods available to students throughout the school day.
