Fresno Unified has been awarded a $150,000 grant from the Kaiser Permanente Foundation to fund student wellness initiatives over two years. The district has hired Anita Ruiz as the wellness coordinator to work with our school sites and community partners to improve student wellness.
Initiatives will focus on improving food security and nutrition, increasing physical activity, providing increased social-emotional supports, and connecting students and their families with outside resources.
“We are proud to once again be chosen as a grant recipient by the Kaiser Permanente Foundation and are excited to be working with them on this innovative initiative for the betterment of our students, families and communities,” said Superintendent Bob Nelson.
