VISION
​
The Wellness department of LMS displays a climate of peer motivation within a safe environment. There is an understanding and acceptance of individual differences, while maintaining an atmosphere of respect. (Encouraging, active, open, engaged)
Students are self directed lifelong learners who are engaged at their own levels. They are productive and motivated to reach a higher level of physical fitness. They are dedicated to continual self improvement of wellness through physical activity, team sports, and health education. Students embrace the responsibility for their learning by taking an active role in the learning process. They have the confidence to become advocates for wellness in their community.
The Wellness curriculum is based on student centered fitness and fitness concepts. It offers differentiated challenges to meet the individual needs of the student’s physical, cognitive, and affective well being through team teaching and student choice. (fitness days, team sports, and health concepts.)
The Wellness Department works in partnerships with the parents and community. Parents recognize and acknowledge the importance and value of the benefits of the wellness program and support it. There are programs available for District 81 community members to participate in and learn the importance/values of personal wellness.
