Wellness Policy

The Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, was signed as a public law on December 13, 2010. This law contains several provisions that impact school nutrition programs, such as local school wellness policy implementation and for the first time nutrition standards for all foods sold on the school campus during the school day.

Several schools have formed School Health Councils, collaborative groups between school faculty and staff members and parents. These Councils work to promote a variety of healthy eating and physical activity events throughout the school year, such as Family Fitness Nights and school-wide walking programs.

The Cheltenham School District continues to provide healthy eating and physical activity resources to help build healthy schools, homes and communities. The district’s wellness policy is part of the journey of the district-wide wellness implementation process. For more information and future plans of the wellness policy or to be a member of our Wellness Committee, please contact the Local Wellness Policy Coordinator at jkeene@cheltenham.org.
