Jacqueline Mulryne MSA,BSN,CSN, School Nurse, has challenged the staff to live up to that New Year's Resolution by participating in a Wellness Health Challenge for the month of January. Teams were created and they started with a weigh-in. Each week was punctuated with a challenge. The first challenge was to run, jog or walk to collect playing card that were on the course. The winner was determined by adding up the value of the cards. The second week entailed that each team make a healthy dessert that was judged by a panel of 5 judges (superintendent, principal, office secretary, CST member and custodian). Points were given to the teams based on the ranking of the dessert tasting and recipe. This was a blind tasting challenge. The third challenge calculated the number of steps that the teams acquired from the first day of the challenge. The final week's challenge included a final weigh-in for the teams and a celebratory healthy lunch in the school. Throughout the month of challenges a number of prizes and monetary awards were given to teams leading at the end of each week. This challenge was a jumpstart to the staff of Upper Freehold Regional School District upholding their New Year's Resolution to improve their health. Well, Nurse Jacqueline has surely got them headed in the right direction and plans to continue to offer school wellness activities for the staff, students and families.
Congratulations Nurse Jacqueline! With the final rule changes of the "Local School Wellness Policy Implementation under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act", Upper Freehold Regional School District is on its way to a healthy school community.
