Dalton Hosts Interactive Evening for Interschool Wellness Educators

Director of Wellness Jenna Sumner, Assistant Head of School Celeste Herrera, and Executive Director of Interschool Adrienne Barr hosted a gathering of over 20 Interschool Wellness educators, including Directors of Counseling Services, Nursing, Health Education, and Learning Support on December 5 in the Teaching Kitchen.
In this interactive, spirited evening, attendees participated in a nutrition demonstration led by Assistant HS Director of Operations Charlie Stewert, who is a trained baker. This demonstration is easily replicable across multiple ages and does not require a teaching kitchen to integrate into classes. 

While eating the results of their hard work, small group discussions focused on questions including, “Where are your school wellness efforts succeeding?” “What programming are you proud of?” and “Where are opportunities for growth?” 

These queries led to a productive summary of current efforts across all eight NYC Interschools and a desire for an additional gathering in the Spring to further align our work and learn from one another.
