Wellness Commitee

In an effort to improve the health and well-being of staff and students, the district created a wellness committee. One of the premier events resulting from this initiative was the walking challenge, completed just a few weeks ago in early December. The district had many teams trying to walk around the perimeter of New York State. Participants wore pedometers donated by United Memorial Medical Center, working in teams of four to "step up" the number of steps they took in a day.
