Montgomery Middle STEAM Magnet - Health and Wellness Program

Our Purpose and Focus:
Educating and Empowering our Students to recognize that being HEALTHY is a choice. To truly be healthy you must recognize the important connections between your mind, your body, and your consciousness. Giving students the tools to be in charge of their personal health and wellbeing will increase academic success and prepare them to lead healthy lifestyles as adults.

Protocols:
Utilizing THRIVELY, the student strength assessment program, “SECOND STEP” the Social Emotional Learning Curriculum, and Grant Funding from the California Teachers Association - Institute for Teaching (CTA-IFT) we will implement a Health and Wellness Wheel, addressing the development of Montgomery students physical, mental, social and emotional well being. Our “wheel” schedule provides the opportunity for every Montgomery student to rotate through this weekly program as part of their physical education classes. With a garden to table focus, students are growing, harvesting, prepping, cooking and eating - we take educating the whole child very seriously!
