FSDB is committed to providing a school environment that enhances learning and the development of lifelong wellness practices. To accomplish these goals, FSDB established a Wellness Committee, which includes parents/ legal guardians and staff representatives from Food Services, Physical Education, Academics, Boarding Program, Administration, and the Board of Trustees. The group meets regularly and discusses student health and well-being goals, including state guidelines for nutrition education, physical activity and other school-based activities, eating environments on campus, and food safety and security. Input from other parents/legal guardians regarding the Wellness Policy is welcome. To communicate with the Wellness Committee, send an email to wellness@fsdbk12.org.

FSDB offers free, healthy meals each school day. With parental assistance, FSDB may qualify for government reimbursement for some of the cost of providing a child’s meals. Parents can help increase the funding FSDB receives for the benefit of their child/children.
