Alpha’s Wellness Committee

Helps Students REACH Fitness Goals

The goal of Alpha’s Wellness Committee is to excite and inspire both students and parents alike to keep fit and healthy. Alpha’s R.E.A.C.H. Program – “Realizing Eating and Activity Change Health” is designed to expand physical activity for students beyond PE classes, to integrate it throughout the Alpha curriculum and after school, to encourage good nutrition habits, and to encourage healthy lifestyles through special events and publications.  National and diocesan nutrition and physical activity guidelines are also monitored for relevance to the Alpha school environment.  Members of the 2007-08 Wellness Committee are:  Sr. Rochelle Holly,  Mr. Bill Hubbs, Siao Mei Shick-Co Chair, Janice Wasson-Co Chair, Mary Boyle-Arnn, Bernadette Burgess, Halina Luckiewicz, Cristina Matisz, Susan McElroy, Dina Muth, Stephanie Schenk-Jacobs, Sarita Subvamaniam, and Jewel Whiting.

REACH newsletters for the Alpha Community help raise physical fitness awareness, offer nutritional recipes or advice and publicize Wellness Committee events and initiatives.  Current issues are listed below:
