They enjoyed wellness yoga, zumba, art activities and classes like Stress Busters. On Friday, Jordan School District employees were offered a variety of ways to help manage the added stress many are feeling right now due to a very challenging year in education. Friday, February 11, was converted into a Health & Wellness Day for employees, students, and families in place of the Flex Friday previously scheduled.
Resources were made available throughout the day to help everyone focus on their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Zoom classes on stress management, dealing with anxiety, classroom management, and others were offered, along with in-person activities designed to help staff connect with other employees and for physical health and wellness.
The District also provided families with information and activities for students of all ages to help them focus on their own health and wellness. The resources were made available so parents could make choices about what would be most helpful and appropriate for members of their individual families.
A big thank you to all of our community partners who stepped up and supported the Health & Wellness Day by offering things like free use of gyms, cycling classes and jazzercise.
