As part of the school’s Mission Statement and Expectations for Student Learning, “students will take an active part in the learning process.” Wellness Education is an integral part of an individual’s total development. The Wellness department will include curriculum and activities that offer students the opportunity to develop sound concepts of physical growth. The curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts Health Frameworks. Emphasis for physical development is based on continuing participation on a regularly scheduled basis. The main goal of the department is for students to fully recognize and be able to practice positive growth-promoting activities that they will carry into their adult lives.
