Communicating the Wellness Policy

How do you assure parents that you care about creating a healthy environment for their kids?

It’s that time of year when everyone is coming down with something and we are loading up on hand sanitizer! And with the threat of H1N1, we’ve definitely felt the concern of parents.

A few weeks ago we talked about the importance of communicating our Wellness Policy to both parents and volunteers here.  Communicating to parents your commitment to create a safe and healthy and environment for their kids, helps to put their mind at ease.

Take a look at the piece that we sent to our parents a few weeks ago.

    Kendra,

    Great thoughts. I bet you will, but can you speak to this in a new and/or smaller church context, too? How do you focus when there are limited resources in terms of staff, finances, and volunteers?

    I know a lot of people who feel like they are “on the right bus”, but maybe not “in the right seat on the bus.

    Thanks!
    Adam

    Hey Kendra! I’m loving the regular posts each week on this blog! Keep up the good work! My job has changed about six times since I have been at The Orchard…I’m still discovering exactly what my sweet spot is! Thankfully, I have been given a lot of freedom to operate in my strengths and to discover what they are!

    Thanks for using your energy to equip leaders! We appreciate you! Hope to see you soon!
