Current Community Wellbeing Campaigns

Move More through winter

Colder seasons generally means many people move less as we seek more warmth indoors. However, there are many ways to increase our physical activity even when inside. Check out the following resources from Alliance For A Healthier Generation for suggestions to use with your household and notice how moving more impacts your physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing. 

Staff Wellness Sessions

 

EMPLOYEE WELLNESS SERVICES APPOINTMENTSBCCS staff have access to 1:1 or small group instruction or coaching in a variety of wellness modalities. Employees may visit the staff intranet for more information and to access the scheduling link. 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: NUTRITION 101 EDUCATIONAL COHORTS

Six-week basic nutrition education cohorts are available for Brooklyn Center Community Schools stakeholders aged 14+ on a seasonal basis. Cohorts are filled and begin as groups are ready. Content such as, reading nutrition labels, types of sugars and types of grains, individual and cultural food needs and interests, and more are covered. Cohorts generally meet weekly for 45 minutes, in person or on Zoom. Contact the Wellbeing Specialist, Michelle Auld, at mauld@bccs286.org to express your interest and get added to the list or for more information. 

 

Environments

BCCS recognizes that exposure to scented products in schols has potential negative impacts on the health of students and staff. The district is a fragrance-friendly environment to support the health of all stakeholders. As such, chemical air fresheners are not to be used. The use of scented products that produce a scent strong enough to be perceived by others, including, but not limited to aerosol products, colognes, perfumes, after-shave products, body sprays, room sprays and other fragrance products is discouraged. 

The Share The Air posters are posted in the buildings, and are available for printing to post in classrooms and office spaces.
