District Spotlight

"Glide School District has supported over 90% of its employees with its employee well-being programs! The district has partnered with Thrive Umpqua to maintain a team of three wellness coordinators; this team works with a group of staff members to implement ongoing activities throughout each school year.

Using the Flourish Grant from Oregon Well-Being Trust, the wellness team has provided many wellness opportunities, such as snow tubing, cross-country skiing, on-site chair massage, a Women on Weights club, in-service lunch days, self-defense and art classes, and the very popular soup-and-smoothie delivery during workdays.

The strongest well-being programs work to include all staff, and Glide School District's wellness team truly embodies this idea. Employees in the Transportation Department, for example, don't always have the time or availability to participate in on-campus activities, but a member of their team requested a foldable picnic table to use when the weather is nice. This purchase has helped the transportation staff enjoy spending time together outdoors, and it demonstrates that creativity and listening to the needs of employees are a cornerstone of well-being work."
