We were pleased to launch the KPDSB Wellness Committee in the 2021–2022 school year.
The committee is “by employees, for employees” with support from Human Resources and Senior Administration. The committee’s goal is to promote the overall wellness of employees by encouraging healthy personal lifestyle choices, safe practices, and healthy and fun activities both while at work and during leisure time.
In honour of Pink Shirt Day 2022, the KPDSB Wellness Committee issued a Random Acts of Kindness Challenge to our schools and communities. The challenge was the first initiative of the KPDSB Wellness Committee. The kindness challenge encouraged students, staff, families, and community members to participate by doing something nice for someone and sharing their random act of kindness or thanking someone for their act on social media using the hashtag #KindnessatKP. Staff could also purchase KPDSB Be Kind shirts.
The committee also organized the first KPDSB Spring Trek, encouraging staff to “Be Active.” Staff entered their names into a Google form once they completed their 5K walk/run/bike for a chance to win a prize.
