School Wellness Checklist

Posted by Jo-an Rechtin on 8/16/2021

As proud recipients of a School Wellness Grant through the Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation, Owen J. Roberts schools use the School Wellness Checklist© --the tool utilized for schools participating in the MUSC BCCW School-Based Wellness Initiative. Schools use the Checklist© as a guide to choose wellness activities and strategies that are implemented and recorded each year. 

In 2020-2021, all seven Owen J. Roberts schools scored high enough on the checklist to win a monetary prize. Schools will use their prize money to promote wellness in the 2021-22 school year. In the past, schools have purchased playground equipment, had speakers and/or programs, offered nutritional programs, or held fun contests.
