Volusia County School issued the following announcement on Aug. 20.
Congratulations to our Volusia County Schools Wellness Champions!
The Wellness Champions are a key element of the VCS Vitality Wellness Program sponsored by FHCP. Each school and VCS department is assigned a Wellness Champion who serves as the voice of wellness at their site(s) for the employees. Their specific duties include:
- To disseminate information from the FHCP Wellness Liaison to co-workers about wellness benefits, activities, and educational information
- To coordinate at least one wellness activity each semester (challenge, guest speaker, program, etc.) for their co-workers
- To engage their co-workers and serve as Team Captain in the One Step at a Time Challenge, the annual district-wide physical activity challenge
We are excited to recognize the following Wellness Champions for 2020-2021.
