• Outdoor Classroom:
    We have used our wellness funds this year to add another table to our outdoor classroom. Now we have enough space for a whole class to enjoy learning outside. Additionally, we use these tables to celebrate positive lunch behavior so that classes can utilize these to enjoy lunch outside in the sunshine!

    Staff Stress Management:
    We continued to focus on improving staff well-being at IVES! We added massage chairs in both staff break rooms to allow staff to relax during their breaks and enjoy a massage as well. Now they can relieve some tension during their lunch breaks. We also restocked our k cups supply, because who doesn't need a pick me up during the day.

    Staff Movement:
    This year we have continued our Walk Wednesday's for staff. Wellness committee wanted to take it a step further and have started to add monthly staff family hikes. It's great to connect outside of school too in a healthy way!
