Butler Wellness Committee
Youth spend most of their awakening hours at school, underlining the importance schools have in supporting student health and wellness. As an extension of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), a wellness committee was formed at Butler to focus on the health and well-being of students, staff, and families. The Butler Wellness Committee (BWC) is comprised of the Principal, Nurse, and several teachers and parents. BWC strategies will be informed by The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child, or WSCC model which emphasizes the role of the community in supporting the school, the connections between health and academic achievement and the importance of evidence-based school policies and practices.

This Survey
One of the first efforts of the Butler Wellness Committee is to better understand parents' thoughts regarding the school lunch program (e.g., the lunch that students receive at school either through free and reduced lunch or at full price).

The information we compile will help us to understand how you feel about the school lunch and if we ought to advocate for any changes to be made.

We hope you take 2 minutes to complete this survey. This survey is voluntary and information collected in this survey will be kept confidential. Your name is not required on this survey.
