Where Wellness Matters

Staff Wellness Program

Vision

Employees of the Anoka-Hennepin School District will value a healthy lifestyle and will make choices that demonstrate their desire for wellness.

Mission

To promote and support employee wellness. Being healthy and happy is something that all Anoka-Hennepin employees and their families deserve. The staff wellness program, Where Wellness Matters, created by the district's Wellness Steering Committee, is devoted to helping achieve this goal. You are welcome to participate in various ways through district-sponsored wellness. Each building has identified a Wellness Champion (wellness contact) to help serve as a resource.

Our partner Medica provides designated funds towards the wellness program; this program is not district funded. Let's work together in bringing continued health and happiness to our Anoka-Hennepin team!

Building Wellness Champion

Did you know that each building in our district can apply for a $750 mini grant to be used toward wellness initiatives? Check with your building to find out who your wellness champion is. For 2024-2025, an extra $100 will be given to those early birds that submit their wellness grants ahead of the deadline. Grant submission deadline is March 6, 2025.

Helping others out? Seriously, it is good for you. When you pitch in and lend a hand, it kind of takes the focus off your own stuff for a bit, and you realize you're part of something bigger. It's a cool way to ditch that lonely feeling and just connect with the people around you.  Plus, doing good actually makes you feel good – like a natural little mood boost that can chill out stress and make you feel a bit brighter. It's a win-win: you help someone else, and you end up feeling better yourself.

Getting involved and helping out can really help you grow as a person. You meet all sorts of people and see different sides of a situation, which builds your understanding.  Facing challenges while helping others can also make you feel stronger and more capable – like, "Hey, I can actually make a difference!" That feeling of purpose is a big deal for feeling good overall, giving you a positive vibe and making it easier to roll with whatever life throws your way. 

Doing good for others…totally does good for you too!
