Wellness

The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Evansville are committed to providing school environments that promote and protect children’s health, well-being, and ability to learn, by supporting healthy eating and physical activity. Therefore, it is the policy of the Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Evansville that:

  • The schools will engage students, parents, teachers, food service staff, health professionals, and other interested community members in developing, implementing, monitoring, and reviewing school nutrition and physical activity policies.
  • All students in grades K-12 will have opportunities, support, and encouragement to be physically active on a regular basis.
  • Foods and beverages sold or served at school will meet the nutrition recommendations of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
  • Staff will provide students with access to a variety of affordable, nutritious, and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students, and will provide clean, safe, and pleasant settings and adequate time for students to eat.
  • Schools will provide nutrition education and physical education to foster lifelong habits of healthy eating and physical activity, and will establish linkages between health education and school meal programs, and with related community services.

In June of 2004, the Child Nutrition and WIC Authorization Act was signed into law. This makes it MANDATORY for schools that participate in the National School Breakfast Program or the National School Lunch Program, to have a written School Wellness Policy by July 1, 2006. The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Evansville will continue to implement and annually update this policy for health and wellness of all students.
