Non-Food Classroom Rewards
The District 6 Wellness Policy only allows students to be rewarded with non-food items. This is important so that our students get a consistent message that we value their health. Utilize the resources below to help ensure that student behavior is rewarded appropriately.

Free Non-Food Rewards Program
Kids are often offered food as a reward for good behavior. There are disadvantages to using food as a reward. It teaches kids to eat when they’re not hungry, and it contradicts nutrition education being taught in school. The updated wellness policy for the district requires that only non-food rewards be used in schools. In order to assist teachers in implementing the new District 6 Wellness Policy, the Student Wellness Program has purchased non-food items to serve as classroom rewards.
