Jackson Elementary: Building Wellness Through Connection

At Jackson Elementary, wellness isn’t just encouraged — it’s part of the culture. The Jackson Wellness Team has created a welcoming environment where staff can connect, recharge, and celebrate one another in meaningful ways.

Wellness at Jackson takes many forms: weekly pickleball matches, a staff book club, yoga sessions after school, and the much-loved monthly salad lunches. These simple but intentional gatherings help staff step away from their routines, share a laugh, and build lasting connections.

The team has also made the school’s lounge a true wellness space. With natural light, comfortable seating, and a clutter-free atmosphere, it’s a calm corner designed for conversation and recharging. Many staff have extended that mindfulness to their own workspaces — adding plants, keeping things organized, and stashing healthy snacks to stay energized throughout the day.

This culture of care extends beyond activities. Jackson staff look out for one another, share responsibilities, and celebrate successes together. Their motto, “Progress, not perfection,” captures their belief that wellness is about consistent, small efforts that make a lasting impact.

One of last year’s most joyful moments came during their holiday book club gift exchange. What began as a small idea grew into a 16-person event full of laughter, connection, and new friendships — a perfect reflection of Jackson’s community spirit.

Through every wellness activity and shared smile, the Jackson Wellness Team continues to show that when people feel supported and connected, everyone thrives.
