DRAGON WELLNESS COMMITTEE

ABOUT THE COMMITTEE
​COMMITTEE CHAIR: AMBER BLOSE

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. Be sure to check out the "Dragon Wellness Corner” in our monthly PTO Newsletter for additional information and upcoming events.

CURRENT & UPCOMING INITIATIVES

THE GREAT CANDY BRING BACK
It is October Dragon families! And you know what that means: Halloween is around the corner! With Halloween comes all the candy, sometimes TOO much.
 
To help get those sweet treats out of your home, we’re holding the Great Candy Bring Back on Monday, November 1.

The classes with the most candy will win prizes!

Stay tuned for more details! 
WE NEED:
  • Boxes to hold the candy in each classroom.
  • Volunteers to help weigh the candy.
  • Volunteers to take the candy to the organization collecting it.
If you can help with any of these things, please contact us.

PAST 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.​

ALUMINUM CAN DRIVE

Flagstaff Academy came in #1 in Colorado for 2016-2017 Can Drive! 
We recycled 2,886 pounds of aluminum and made $1,000.00 for the school! 
Thanks to all the families for saving your aluminum!

HEALTHY SNACK ADVICE

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.
