About the Committee

This year will be a busy time – we still have funds remaining in the State of Alaska Wellness Grant which we are going to use for various projects during 2015-2016 school year.

• Offer to the local units mini-grants in the amount of $2000 for health and wellness programs within their schools and communities.

• Attend the Health and Wellness Conference in Anchorage.  We will have a booth representing the Alaska PTA and also present a workshop dealing with our health and safety priorities.

• The 2016 annual Convention – April 29-30 will be solely devoted to the health, safety and wellness of Alaska’s children.  We plan to have guest speakers, workshops and seminars.  Those schools who received one of the mini-grants will be asked to present their program.
