NJ-SP Wellness Plan Among Corporation Plans Approved Tuesday Night

The North Judson-San Pierre School Board reviewed and approved the Corporation’s Plans last night, including the Wellness Plan.

While som of the main changes were highlighted at the school board’s March meeting, this month Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin focused on the main components of each Plan and the specific elements that were incorporated to fit NJ-SP’s needs.

The main components of the Wellness Plan include nutrition and education promotion, physical activity and other school-based activities as well as implementation and evaluation.

According to Zupin, much of the Wellness Plan was derived from federal and state guidelines regarding nutrition, curriculum and regulations. However, there are a few parts of the plan that are unique to North Judson-San Pierre.

Some of those elements include the corporation’s Wellness Committee which meets regularly to promote Wellness in addition to an emphasis on fresh air and activity during lunch time for older students.

Superintendent Zupin shared that another portion specific to their school is Physical Education being offered and supported at each grade level.

She noted, “Now, when I say each grade level, they take it as freshman and its’ offered sophomore, junior and senior year.”

Additional information about the Corporation’s Technology and Strategic and Accountability Plans that were approved at the same time will be shared in future articles.
