Fayette County Public Schools will host a public forum to gather input and get feedback on the district’s fall 2008 Wellness Check-Up.

The two-page report reviews nutrition and physical activity education districtwide. It also notes several goals that aim to improve overall student wellness, such as not using food as a reward and ensuring that each child has 30 minutes of daily physical activity.

“We welcome suggestions as we work to ensure a good check-up for next year,” said Michelle Coker, director of the district’s Child Nutrition Program.

The public forum starts at 5:30 p.m. Monday Dec. 1 in Conference Room C of It’s About Kids Support Services, 701 E. Main St.; (859) 381-4100.

Those who cannot attend the meeting may share comments with Coker by e-mail or phone (michelle.coker@fayette.kyschools.us or 381-3839). The deadline is Dec. 31.

The Child Nutrition staff will take people’s suggestions into consideration when preparing an action plan for the school board in January.
