District 67 is committed to providing a learning environment that supports and promotes wellness, good nutrition, and an active lifestyle. We recognize the positive relationship between healthy habits and student learning.

The entire school environment—including classroom education, physical education, and meal service—is designed to align with healthy school goals, encouraging good nutrition, physical activity, and overall wellness. School staff are also encouraged to model these habits in daily life.

The Wellness Program, a state-mandated, fitness-based program for grades 1-8, is also extended to kindergarten students in District 67. The curriculum focuses on:

• Comprehension and application of fitness and movement concepts
• Personal fitness improvement and lifelong wellness

At the middle school level, physical education includes:

• Strength training
• Heart rate training
• Personal fitness logs for goal setting and progress tracking

Each week, students engage in:

• Skill development and team-building activities (remaining days)

The program fosters problem-solving, creativity, and individual success, encouraging students to reach their full potential through positive reinforcement. It emphasizes cooperation, respect, and inclusivity in physical activity.

Health education is integrated at all levels to support students' emotional, social, intellectual, and physical well-being. Topics include:

• Fitness and nutrition
