A Supersize Problem

This is the article you received at the meeting this morning...an interesting read to say the least. Using McDonald's terminology to describe the problem echoes the fact that the problem is easily solved through educating about the right choices. Read through the article and feel free to comment.

Walking club

One thing that we spoke about at our last meeting was the possibility of having a walking club during the last 10 or so minutes of lunch. Any thoughts on how to organize this? Any volunteers?

Meeting on Wednesday

We will be meeting on Wed. March 28th to discuss a couple of things.
1. survey results- we will look at the numbers and come up with a course of action and some possible directions in which to move.
2. We will have Dr. Eric with us. He is a chiropractor in town and he will be able to put us in contact with different people in the field that might be interested in donating time and knowledge.
3. Newsletter- all of you have seen a copy of the newsletter- I would love some more feedback about what future issues might look like. I was thinking something along the lines of success stories; maybe start with internet stories and invite kids in our school to submit stories of healthy lifestyle choices.

thanks again

Offering time and services

I was in contact again today with Dr. Eric. He will be coming to our next meeting, which will be on March 8th at 8:15- He would love to be a part of what we are doing and has taken the liberty of talking with a few helthcare professionals in the area. A personal trainer, a nutritionist, and a massage therapist who would be interested in coming in to give demos or informational sessionis. We will meet on the 8th to discuss logistics again and to go over the survey results. (thanks Phil and Denise)

Meeting today

I thought that was a great meeting today. Many good ideas and a lot of enthusiasm. We will use the faculty basketball game as a kick off to the different activities that we will organize over the next couple of months. We will put the recipes into effect this week and then we will work on getting professionals in the area in to speak to both the faculty and students.

Long time, no post!

It is time to start this blog up again after a brief hiatus. I hope everyone enjoyed the massage day. I heard some really positive things from those who were able to take advantage of it. It is exactly what we need sometimes. Maybe not a massage but some way to just "power down" for a few minutes during the course of our day.

The surveys that Dot, Tara and Diane worked on have gone out and are coming in. I will need someone to go through them and assess the info.

The faculty basketball game is also coming up- February 27th - and Tara had an excellent idea of using it to promote the wellness campaign. We can plan some other events to take place as well using the game as a starting point.

I have been in contact with Dr. Eric and he is willing to come in with a short powerpoint. June has said that the cafe can also get involved with special lunches.

Let's start using this blog to share with each other and hopefully we will connect to other schools using this blog as well.

Enjoy!

Chiropractic Care

Amy had Dr. Eric, a chiropractor in town, get in touch with me. I have gone to him before for adjustments as well- I was thinking about having him come in to talk to people about the benefits-
