Local Wellness Program 

Having healthy choices at school helps keep our children healthy and ready to learn. The school wellness policy helps our school create an action plan for nutrition and physical activity at school. Parents and community members can share their opinions and help make sure the policy is meeting the needs of all students. Please email comments and/or questions about the wellness policy or nutrition and physical activity to katie.saul@hermistonsd.org
