Wellness Council

In compliance with the CPS Wellness Policy, McAuliffe established a council in 2007 composed of administration, faculty, parents, and community partners.  The council meets monthly to coordinate all wellness related initiatives and activities that take place in the school.  Each meeting serves as a forum for communication among the school, parents and outside partners.  At present, the Wellness Council’s role includes assessment, advocacy and support for the implementation of active living and healthy eating program, policies and events.  The group has been critical in applying for grants to incorporate growing herbs in the classroom and to improve the play environment around the school.  The Wellness Council at McAuliffe serves as a model to other schools interested in developing their own council.
