10 APS Schools Receive $1,000 Mini Grants
Ten APS schools have each received $1,000 employee well-being mini grants. The grants will be used to bring increased awareness and support for the mental and physical well-being of Atlanta Public Schools’ valued employees. Improved employee well-being is linked to better attendance, engagement and retention. Made possible by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the grant funds are awarded to those proposals that best support the mission and vision of APS and the well-being of APS's employees. Funding is used to revamp existing or introduce new well-being programs so that all employees can have access to healthy choices physically and emotionally. Grants are for physical activity, nutrition and emotional well-being initiatives, including: relaxation rooms, yoga classes, healthy cooking, fitness boot camps, mindfulness training, and staff lounge upgrades and more.
