Sonshine Wellness Program
At Sonshine Christian Academy, we are dedicated to cultivating a thriving school culture that prioritizes health and nutrition, recognizing their profound impact on student progress and overall well-being.
Nutrition and Health Education
Our commitment extends to bringing comprehensive nutrition and health awareness to students, families, and staff. In pursuit of this goal, we offer nutrition education both in the cafeteria and classrooms, utilizing engaging materials like posters and educational media. Consistent messaging promoting healthy eating permeates our approach, supported by resources such as healthy snack ideas and lists for nutritious classroom celebrations.
Promoting Healthy Bodies through Physical Activity
Central to our mission is fostering healthy bodies through fitness and physical activity. We provide structured and free play opportunities for daily physical activity, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment with the necessary space and equipment. Short physical activity breaks between lessons contribute to the holistic well-being of our students.
Creating a Healthy School Culture
Our commitment extends beyond the classroom, encompassing various initiatives to create a healthy school culture. We provide a daily meal, facilitating positive mealtime interactions. Access to free, quality drinking water is ensured throughout the school, and after-school programming incorporates opportunities for physical activity and snacks.
