Meeting began 9:30 AM in the PE equipment room

 

Present: L. Noyes, K. Gardner, B. Revoir, J. Abbiati, B. Young, L. Hebert, T. Treece, S. Driscoll, N. Ransom

 

Meeting began with introduction of new/old members. Reviewed the 05-06 year-end report. No corrections made. Reviewed goals as previously discussed at last meeting with addition of another goal:  Collaboration/communication of U61 SHAC teams. Members expressed desire to have some members of BT team attend meeting, especially S. Barnard &/or L. Thygesen. Discussed need to alternate meeting times between before and after school to accommodate district members. Reviewed draft of wellness policy. Addition of physical education made to 1. C under goals for nutrition education. Discussion took place regarding wording of adequate time for meals as some lunch lines long. Concern also raised with shortage of food by the start of 5th lunch. Having a 5th lunch module raised concerns about the availability of bake sales during TA. Many wondering if we can have bake sales since the last lunch module has not been served yet. Also, wondering if bake sales can be held in the lobby even after school if no food is allowed outside of the cafeteria. Those concerns will be addressed with administrative/leadership team.

 

The amount of physical activity required of students is of concern as PE credit for graduation can be achieved all during freshman year with nothing happening after that., Before/after school activities through EPSDT funding may provide some alternatives for activity. It is unclear at this time when those programs will be offered.

 

PHIT club has funding approval and leader being sought for spring boys club. Female group to start this fall with J. Carpenter leading the group. Advertising to start this week.

 

School-wide wellness day is being planned for October 12th. Group began discussing/planning for activities. A motivational speaker during this day would be desirable but it was felt that TA time would not be long enough. Group felt that an activity day schedule, if possible, in the spring could allow for this to happen.

 

Meeting adjourned at 11:00

 

Next meeting planned for September 29th in room 6 from 7:30 - 8:00 AM for purpose of planning for the October 12th wellness day.
