2019-2020 Afterschool Wellness Awards
The Oregon Department of Education, the Nutrition Council of Oregon, and the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council are teaming up to reward two exemplary Afterschool Programs for creating and sustaining a culture of wellness for youth and staff. Each program selected will receive statewide recognition, a personalized plaque and a custom banner, as well as a $1,000 award to be used to further nutrition, physical activity and/or other wellness efforts within their program.

Research supports the important link between health and academic achievement.  Afterschool programs that implement healthy eating and physical activity (HEPA) guidelines and align with local school wellness policies create healthier environments for students and staff. Implementation of HEPA guidelines and wellness policies can look different within each afterschool program, and the Afterschool Wellness Award application is a great place to showcase what your  program is doing!

Information about required documents and a pdf version of the application are available on the ODE CNP School Wellness Webpage at https://www.oregon.gov/ode/students-and-family/childnutrition/SNP/Pages/OregonSchoolWellness.aspx
