Wellness Plan

In June of 2004, Congress passed a law called the Child Nutrition and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Reauthorization Act of 2004. This law requires school districts to develop a local wellness policy. Additionally, the State of Illinois passed its own similar, more comprehensive legislation. The objectives of both policies are to improve the school nutrition environment, promote student health and reduce childhood obesity. In the spring of 2008, a volunteer committee of parents, teachers, administrators, nurses, PE staff, food service representatives and students revised the Hawthorn Wellness Plan.
