Calling all volunteers for physical advisory council

The Weld Re-8 School District’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Advisory Council needs members from the Fort Lupton area and surrounding communities.
    The group is looking for parents, students, pediatricians, dieticians, nutritionists and anyone else knowledgeable about children’s health.
    Meetings are the second Monday of each month in the Fort Lupton Public & School Library, 425 S. Denver Ave. The next one is at 3:45 p.m., Nov. 14. Check www. welre8.org for details.
    The district’s policy of promoting healthy schools includes support of student wellness through good nutrition, and regular physical activity as part of the total learning environment. Improved health optimizes student performance potential, as children who eat well-balanced meals and are healthy are more likely to learn in the classroom.
    The council will monitor the implementation of this policy, evaluate the district’s progress on this policy’s goals, serve as a resource to schools and advise revisions to this policy as the council deems necessary and/or appropriate. This committee will provide a report of their accomplishments to the Weld Re-8 Board of Education at the close of each school year. Call or e-mail Mindi Wolf, food service coordinator, with any questions. The number is 303-857-7103, and the email is mwolf@ftlupton.k12.co.us.
