Two JCPS Staffers Receive HSHC Recognition
Last week, Justin Reynolds (PE teacher at Callaway Hills) and Kelsey Chrisman (Healthy Schools Coordinator) received recognition at the Annual Healthy Schools Healthy Communities (HSHC) Convening.
Engagement Expert:
Kelsey Chrisman (right) - Although Kelsey is just completing her first year as DWC, she hit the ground running in building relationships. She has engaged wellness champion, school administration, teachers, secretaries, food service, custodial/maintenance staff, parents and grandparents and students! She has been able to successfully get schools that were not currently engaged not only participating in the program but excited about it. She has had volunteers for running programs, Walking School Busses, cooking clubs and school gardens. Once upon a time wellness committee meetings were sparse but thanks to Kelsey’s leadership, she packs the room!
Courageous Champion:

Whether it is starting a new program, serving as a role model for their students or other staff, or always being there to jump in and help out, this person plays an integral role building a healthier future for their students. This years Courageous Champion award goes to Justin Reynolds from Callaway Hills Elementary School in Jefferson City!
