Mount Greylock District Aims to Provide Healthier Foods

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A Mount Greylock Regional School District committee is working to ensure that the three public schools provide healthier food options for students and staff.
 
The co-chair of the district's Wellness Committee gave a report to the School Committee at its Thursday meeting, outlining the wellness group's priorities for the year ahead.
 
Joelle Brookner told the elected officials that a group of 16 people representing staff, district families, students from the middle-high school and the administration had met three times as of the School Committee's April 9 meeting.
 
Job one for the Wellness Committee has been to use tools from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to look at the district's current policy, and her panel will be making recommendations to the School Committee's Policy and Governance Subcommittee for amendments to bring to the full committee in the near future.
 
At the same time, Brookner said the Wellness Committee asked its own members what their priorities are for improving the schools.
 
"We had a pretty good range of what people are interested in, and we asked people to rank the top three categories that need the most attention,"Brookner said. "Those were, in this order: school meal programming, nutrition and food system education and social and emotional climate and caregiver engagement.
 
"That's going to be the focus of our work this year."
