WOW Committee
The WOW Committee is committed to supporting a healthy school and community environment. Research shows that students (and adults) are better academic students when they have access to nutritious foods, physical activity, and live in an environment that promotes health and wellness. The WOW will be implementing a new grant from the CDC and ODE called Oregon Healthy Schools incorporating the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model of wellness. We will be using the School Health Index (SHI) to assess each component of the WSCC and identify our priority areas. Our overall goals are to increase the number of students who consume nutritious foods, increase the number of students who participate in daily PE/PA, and increase the number of students who can effectively manage their chronic health conditions.
The WSCC Model
The WSCC Model is ASCD's Whole Child approach, but takes a more specific health and wellbeing focus. The WSCC Model highlights the School Health Components which every school should have to ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of their students, staff and environment. All of the School Health Components are present amongst the Indicators of the Healthy and Safe Tenets, but by using the WSCC Model, schools, districts, and communities are able to highlight these areas and direct more attention towards them.
