Available Grants

FUTP60 and Wellness Policies
• FUTP60 is a program that fulfills the federal criteria on nutritional promotion and physical activity as those topics relate to requirements within individual wellness policies for schools
• Districts must have a plan to implement in the school communities that addresses each of the above and collaboration is to exist between the parents, school personnel, students, and community partners to accomplish this plan

Administrative Support
• After the school nurse director met with the County Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, it was decided that all schools would participate in FUTP60 as a collaborative effort to fulfill wellness initiatives required by USDA and/or the federal wellness guidelines.
• This would involve the County Wellness Team meeting and implementing through the health and physical education staff at each school.
• Principals were directly involved as well

• NASN held a webinar this year, that illustrated how the FUTP60 program and grants assisted school communities in fulfilling new federal requirements

FUTP60 Web Site Introduced
• All schools used the School Wellness Inventory to identify strengths and weaknesses at the individual schools
• BCS was already very strong in enforcement of nutritional standards required by federal guidelines
• Most of the inventories showed improvement was needed in community involvement with wellness initiatives, students as ambassadors and health advocates, and physical activity needed to increase during the school day

Touchdown Schools!!!!
• West Virginia only had 25 schools to complete this major milestone with the program, with Boone County representing 8 of those 25 schools. 32% of the schools who qualified as ‘touchdown schools’ in West Virginia were from Boone County and included the following:
• Ashford-Rumble; Nellis; Madison Elementary; Ramage; Sherman Elementary; Sherman High; Van High; and Whitesville Elementary!

Fun With Wellness
![Page 17: Boone County Schools Wellness](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168b7550346895ddf93f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Barriers and Interventions
• Assisting administrators at individual schools and the Health and PE staff to realize that this was not “another task-another duty”
• Instead, they were accomplishing, by filing for FUTP60 grants, the following: creating a school wellness plan and satisfying federal requirements in nutrition promotion and physical activity!
![Page 18: Boone County Schools Wellness](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168b7550346895ddf93f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What we have learned:
• School program advisors need to be reminded regularly about deadlines and assistance needs to be available for grant writing (although FUTP60 has made it as easy as possible)
• Food Services and School Health Services, Physical Education and Health Educators, and Administrators must collaborate for success
![Page 19: Boone County Schools Wellness](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/568168b7550346895ddf93f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Students and Parents
• Once the program has begun: other participants have key roles to prevent one individual from feeling overwhelmed. Discuss duties at Wellness Committee meetings to divide the responsibilities
• Holistic approach; all of the school community must be involved for success
• Pleasant surprises along the way! Competitions, additional funding, collaborations for additional grants, etc.
