Healthy and Wise

School Counselor Participation

(2010-2011)

Each month, Healthy and Wise focuses on safety, social and mental health topics. The school counselor at each campus is encouraged to visit the classrooms using the Healthy and Wise curriculum and provide additional information on the month’s featured topics. In addition, if the school is using the SPARK Physical Education Programs (K-2 & 3-6) as a coordinated component with the Healthy and Wise program, the “Inclusion” section in each binder provides school counselors and staff helpful information and resources for teaching and supporting special needs students.
