This year, Crandall ISD introduced Wellness Wednesdays--a weekly initiative where employees are encouraged to participate in some form of a wellness activity, whether it is walking around the building, reading a book or doing a yoga class.
The goal of the program is to encourage staff to do something each week for their mental and physical health. The activities do not need to be intense; they are intended to encourage small steps in the direction of wellness.
According to Katrina Spotsville, CISD’s Social Emotional Learning Coordinator, emotional wellness is just as important as the physical aspect.
“Our mental health impacts our physical health and overall well-being,” Spotsville said. “Someone struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety or depression can find it difficult to maintain focus, find motivation for tasks and relate to others.”
