DRAGON WELLNESS COMMITTEE
This committee supports and promotes the overall mind and body wellness for students and teachers.
  • We encourage fitness by supporting movement in the classrooms and by aiding other PTO committees such as the Dragon Dash Jog-a-thon.
  • We promote mindfulness by supporting our school counselors and providing resources for families to explore.

Summer is winding down and the start of school is just around the corner! Changing night and morning time routines can be tough, but we've got helpful tips to make it easier! Start this week or next by adjusting bedtime by just 15 min earlier each night. Do the same thing each morning when waking up! By the first day of school, you'll have everyone back on track! Check out this website for additional helpful tips!

OTHER INITIATIVES
  • Calming Corners - The Dragon Wellness Committee has supported elementary school counselor, Mrs. Tarantino in creating "Calm Corners" for a number of our elementary classrooms. These spaces are designed to help students self-regulate, find a sense of calm, and feel safe, which goes a long way to help all of our Dragons. Thank you to all the families who have supported this initiative by donating to collection supplies for the Calming Corners through the provided Amazon Wish list. With your help, we were able to acquire all of the items Mrs. Tarantino needed for the program.​
  • 2016-2017 Can Drive - We came in #1 in Colorado for the Drive! We recycled 2,886 pounds of aluminum and made $1,000 for the school! Thanks to all the families for saving your aluminum!
  • Healthy Snack Advice - The Wellness Committee designed a flyer for students to think about snack time in their classrooms and what a healthy snack is.
  • Harvest Days - Teach our children where their food comes from, how it works as energy in their bodies and how to take care of the environment. We hosted 4 "Harvest Days" throughout the school year to highlight what students have planted in the Greenhouse Program.  We are so lucky to have the Outdoor Classroom where students can learn how to grow the food we eat, because the food is in limited supply, tasting is not always an option. 
  • Project Produce, Ollin Farms and St Vrain School District supported Harvest Days so that each student had the opportunity to taste and learn about produce the Greenhouse Program had grown.
