The job description for each school rep will depend on their
time and comfort with each task, but basically, the first goal for
the HSFM school rep is to create a wellness committee via the PTA
or in conjunction with the principal (a new requirement for
principals as of 2017-2018 per the
MCPS Wellness Regulation). It
is typically composed of parents, teachers and administrators
interested in health and wellness issues. Further actions can then
be taken through that group. The time commitment is up to each
individual based on their availability and other commitments.
Some of the things that other reps have done or will do are:
- Send HSFM's messages to their school listserv or post to school Facebook page
- Invite HSFM to present to their PTA
- Ask the PTA to sign the HSFM Healthy Kids PTA Pledge
- Visit the cafeteria to review a la carte options and inform
parents about what's offered and how to block their child's
account for a la carte purchases
- Encourage PTA leadership to host healthy events and comply with
the MCPS Wellness Regulation for fundraisers
- Advocate for a salad bar to be installed
- Conduct the 5 for 5 Challenge fundraiser for wellness initiatives
- Host an Eat the Rainbow Week
- Host a Health and Wellness Fair
- Meet with the Principal and Cafeteria Manager to advocate for
changes
We provide training for new reps in the fall and spring and
provide a Rep Manual. We also have a web site with resources for
school reps, including a school checklist of issues that can be
addressed on the local school level. We don't think of this as a
short-term task but more like a marathon, where each rep works on
issues as they have time. The first step is to start to send out
messages and find like-minded parents at each school to meet with,
then decide on your priorities and plan of attack. We can also
share with our reps the names and e-mails of the other HSFM
parents at their school.
We also need parents who will forward our e-mail messages on to
your school listservs or social media even if you cannot commit to
the job of school rep. If you re willing to do that, but not be a
full rep, we would also like to hear from you. That way, it will
help recruit other members from whom we can find a rep.
If you're interested in either job at your child's school, please
e-mail us info@healthyschoolfoodmd.org
and include the name of your child's school.

"Our PTA wellness
committee sent out a parent survey on school lunch and
a la carte items. Then we met with Marla Caplon and
our principal and, based on the survey results, asked
that certain a la carte items be removed (e.g., fruit
snacks, chips) and replaced with healthier options
(e.g., baked cracker snacks, apple sauce). We also
asked that we sell ice cream only once a week as
opposed to twice a week and that it only be ice cream
cups. And we requested that breakfast items not be
sold as a la carte items at lunch time. Our school and
food services agreed to make these changes. Our
parents also supported the addition of a salad bar,
which our principal requested and had installed last
week. The salad bar is available to our fourth and
fifth graders. Last week, I saw many kids enjoying
salad at lunch. It was amazing! Our wellness committee
is also working on a number of ideas including a
program that will encourage kids to eat the rainbow, a
fun run, a cookbook with kid-submitted recipes, and
fact/tip sheets on healthy party snack ideas, lunchbox
ideas, etc."
- Lisa
Mandell, HSFM Rep, Bradley Hill ES
"Starting this school
year the lunch room staff uses the PTA water cooler,
filling it up with iced water everyday. (It's one of
those big orange spouted jugs.) It is rolled into the
cafeteria on a cart and kids can get a cup of water.
The PTA wellness committee made laminated signs for
each classroom to remind kids to bring water bottles
to lunch and I have put repeated notices to parents in
the PTA newsletter to send bottles to school with
their kids to reduce the use of paper cups. At least
the kids don't have to raise their hands to have
permission to walk down the hall and use the fountain
anymore.
One problem we ran into at the beginning was that
kids think it's really fun to operate the water cooler
and they wanted to go get water even if they didn't
really want it. Now the staff pre-fills the cups and
the kids just come and get one off the table. Taking
away the fun in it has really helped...now only kids
that really want water go get water."
- Allyson Piazza, HSFM Rep & PTA President, Takoma
Park ES (2013-2014)
