Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies

Students are better able to learn and succeed when their physical and mental health are supported throughout the school day. WEA is focused on practical changes that give students more opportunities to move, connect with others, and access the support they need.

Our work includes bringing forward targeted state funding to reduce school counselor and social-worker caseloads, pushing for dedicated WCSD funding to expand access to elementary PE teachers, protecting and expanding recess and lunch time, and supporting WCSD’s review of student screen time and instructional minutes.

We want to ensure the structure of the school day supports students academically, physically, socially, and emotionally.
