PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY WELLNESS PLAN
At the June 21st School Board meeting, a Division Wide Wellness Policy was approved for the beginning of the 2006-07 school year. The School Board approved the policy and wellness plan in response to a federal requirement that is based on the rising concern of obesity and student wellness. The content of the new Wellness Plan includes nutrition and physical activity guidelines, nutrition education goals, and staff wellness initiatives. All schools and central departments will be working towards the implementation of this plan over the next three years.

WELLNESS COMPETITION AT
PENNINGTON TRADITIONAL
The staff at Pennington Traditional School participated in a Wellness Competition. The competition was organized by Kyle Toweson, Physical Education teacher. The staff was placed on teams and given pedometers to track their level of physical activity while at school. The competition lasted four months. Students got involved by encouraging their classroom teachers to keep moving! The team winners walked a combined total of 1,344 miles. Through this Wellness Competition, both students and teachers learned that "Fitness is Fun!"
