Maine Schoolsite Health Promotion Conference 

The Tiger Wellness Team attended the Maine Schoolsite Health Promotion Conference, which is a unique professional development experience that provides a forum for representatives of all segments of a school or school administrative unit to discuss and respond to issues related to health promotion, health education and the maintenance of a healthy learning environment as part of coordinated school health programs.  We attended workshops that provided information for enhancing school climate, improving student health and contributing to personal well-being.  Our trip to the conference is made possible by a grant from the Piscataquis Public Health Council (PPHC).
