1. Student Wellness – Brian Murphy, Coordinator, Ceres Unified School District

Mr. Murphy coordinates the CUSD Wellness Committee, that advises the District on health-related issues, activities, policies and programs and may be involved with planning, development and implementation of activities to promote health within the schools and community.

Wellness goals for this year include: obesity stigma and bullying prevention; tobacco and vaping prevention; staff education, training and wellness.

CUSD recently held a staff wellness event in which Jeremy Bates “The Hope Dealer” was the keynote speaker.

Mr. Murphy’s team is working with school sites and departments in identifying the root causes of student behavior issues to identify solutions that are more than discipline and consequences.

CUSD is providing training to all staff to understand that prevention is key and to provide a holistic approach to student wellness.
