Healthy Aging
Getting older is a natural part of life. How you will feel as you get older depends on many things, including what health problems run in your family and the lifestyle choices you make. If you take good care of your body and learn positive ways to deal with stress now, you can slow down or even prevent problems that often come with getting older.
Request For Wellness Funds
Pre-requisites: ACSHIC and the Wellness Sub-Committee will consider granting funding requests from school districts. Given that the overall budget for these requests is moderate, we will consider matching funds (district and ACSHIC) first, followed by all other requests. The ACSHIC will consider matching up to $4 per employee. In order to apply for these funds, the district must have completed the Personal Wellness Profiles (PWP) with a 20% return and subsequently have a written operating plan. Based on these results, the district should have chosen at least one or two goals to work on for the current school year and the funds requested by the district should support these goals.
