Wellness
At MESD, we believe that caring for our educators means caring for our entire community.
The MESD community cares about your wellness. That is why we've developed SPARK Wellness - a program designed to support the health and well-being of our diverse workforce, both in and out of the workplace.
SPARK Wellness provides tools, resources, and inspiration that spark self-interest, renew motivation, and empower school staff to prioritize their own well-being. When you thrive, so do the students you serve.
SPARK Wellness focuses on the following core pillars:
- Social Wellness - Building strong, supportive relationships that foster a sense of connection and belonging within the MESD community.
- Physical Wellness - Engaging in healthy habits like exercise, nutrition, and sleep to maintain energy and prevent illness.
- Awareness - Being present and mindful. Recognizing emotions, stressors, and needs to support balanced well-being.
- Resources - Access to guidance, tools, and support to help you manage money confidently, reduce financial stress, and plan for a secure future.
- Knowledge - Empowering yourself with information and strategies to make informed choices for your health and wellness.
Coming soon...
We are currently developing a wellness survey to send out to MESD Staff that will help dictate the future of the Wellness Program.
We anticipate the survey to be launched by Winter 2025. Stay tuned for more information.
