Staff
Walking/Activity Program
A Need for a Healthy Lifestyle
In Solon City School’s Wellness Policy, a commitment has been made
to expand staff access to wellness programs. A healthy lifestyle provides
important modeling for our students, but also can play a role in preventing
disease and illnesses. Tobacco use, poor eating habits, inadequate physical
activity, and being overweight are four health risk factors that are
preventable. In addition to their impact on cardiovascular disease, cancer,
and diabetes, at least one of these risk factors, inadequate physical
activity, is known to reduce levels of stress. It is the desire of Solon
Schools to provide support for all employees in maintaining and improving
their health profile.

OCTOBER 1ST -THE WALKING / ACTIVITY PLAN KICK-OFF
To help with personal wellness goals, we would like to encourage all
Solon City School employees to participate in a walking / activity
program. The kick-off date for this program is Monday, October 1st,
but registration can take place before or after this date. We are
asking each staff member who walks or engages in some form of activity
beyond
the normal work day to record the number of minutes on our Solon
City Schools website. Current minutes of exercise can be counted toward
these totals, but participants are encouraged to find ways to increase
their minutes beyond their previous goals. As part of this initiative,
walking or any other form of physical activity (biking, swimming,
jogging,
dancing, kayaking, weight conditioning, etc.) can be recorded on
the walking / activity online log. Upon registering to be part of the
walking
/ activity program, each participant will receive a pedometer, lanyard,
Wellness Passport, and T-Shirt.
