Wellness Programming

The purpose of wellness programming is to spread an awareness of wellness practices, promote healthy lifestyles, and learn ways to cope with and decrease stress. Our hope is that spreading awareness of wellness practices will result in healthier minds and bodies for our Nipmuc community. The Center for Disease Control's Division of Adolescent and School Health provides evidence that shows a strong link between the health of students and academic success. Healthy students are better learners, and successful students create healthy communities in the future!

In the past our Wellness Weeks have been held in two concentrated periods, one in December and one in April. Beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, instead of having two Wellness Weeks, we’ll have four wellness themes throughout the year (one per term).

Our revamped wellness program will feature four distinct themes, each aligning with a specific term. Read the newsletters for each term below.
