Report from our Wellness Conference reps who attended Pathways to Success in Kearney Sept 26th. Shari Freeman and Nancy Johannes attended the conference. Shari reported that the featured speaker focused on the importance of humor in wellness. The conference was divided into two strands: Wellness and Safety. Nancy and Shari attended the various workshops and collected information on both wellness and safety. Nancy and Shari also shared support for the grab-n-go breakfasts, the importance of healthy choices, and implementing movement programs (walking) to encourage students to become more active. Shari also shared that the conference speakers also shared the importance of making a choice to be happy in our lives and in our jobs. The joy is not in the goal, rather, in the process of progressing toward their goals. Visualize how you want your day to go and plan to make it go that way. The wellness committee visited about how to get these ideas incorporated into our buildings. Because October is "salad month" the committee agreed to promote a super salad day sometime in October. Finally, the group shared information about an App for the iPad to promote fitness.
