Congratulations to our 2015 SkyWell Interns

Skyline Students Selected as Wellness in the Workplace Conference Interns

In a new partnership between SkyWell and the University of Michigan Health Management Research Center, 6 Skyline students were selected by the Health & Medicine Bio-Medical Science Magnet to represent SkyWell at the 34th Annual Wellness in the Workplace Conference. The conference was held on May 13, 2015 at the Michigan League in Ann Arbor. SkyWell interns were introduced by Dr. Michael O'Donnell, Director of HMRC and Clinical Professor in the School of Kinesiology.

Get Moving in May!

SkyWell Focus on Physical Wellness

May is National Physical Fitness Month, sponsored by the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition.  Now that Spring is finally here, what better time to celebrate physical activity and bring awareness to how a physically active lifestyle can promote personal wellness. At Skyline High School, our SkyWell Wellness Champions have many creative ideas about the physical dimensions of wellness and how we can encourage our student body to get active.

While only 25% of our students report 60 minutes or more of activity 5 days per week, what would happen if we sponsored some new events to promote wellness –

• How about a Field Day with teams based on our SLCs?
• Why don’t we sponsor a walking/bike event between Skyline and Community High School? It’s only 3.7 miles and could be fun sharing our wellness message with another Ann Arbor school.
• Or perhaps a jump rope marathon, just like we did in elementary school, to raise funds for a wellness organization?

This year marks the five year anniversary of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Lets Move Initiative. Let’s join her by bringing together students, parents and teachers at our school to promote moving more during the school day.

Join us at SkyWell and share your ideas
