Here at Sharp Elementary School, we believe in fostering both the mental  and physical health of a child. Simply put, a healthy child has fewer absences, learns better, and is less likely to develop weight-related diseases later in life.

Schools play a vital role in the wellness of children. Students spend almost as many waking hours at school as they do at home, and consume up to two thirds of their daily calories here. This means we have an important opportunity – and responsibility – to teach and reinforce healthy habits.

How do we do this? Together with the CATCH coordinated school health program, we tackle school wellness from all angles. Take a walk through our school and you’ll see health-oriented messaging and activities in our classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, and playground. We involve everyone from district administration, to teachers, food service staff, and parents. The biggest impact is made when we all work  together    – and you can help!

Please consider donating to strengthen our school wellness program, and share with your family and friends to amplify our reach! Meeting our $5,130 goal will fund:

• 2 65' Samsung Television ($1,600)
• New physical education equipment ($1,000)
• Travel to professional conferences ($700) 
• Healthy Snacks ($200)
• Medals/Ribbons ($300)
  
  

Thank you for investing in our children’s health and future!
