Interested in helping your school do more with wellness?
The content in this section is drawn from real-life experiences of other area elementary schools that had the opportunity to participate in wellness activities thanks to a Community Transformation Grant from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
It is intended to provide resources to students, teachers, parents, and others in the community who are interested in creating wellness programs at their school.
