About Our School

At Laveen Elementary School, we are proud to maintain a strong focus on health and wellness as an essential part of our school community. Our comprehensive school wellness program is designed to support both the health and academic achievement of our students through evidence-based policies and practices.

We believe that when students feel healthy—physically, emotionally, and socially—they are better equipped to learn and thrive. That’s why we strive to provide ample opportunities for students to build the knowledge, habits, and attitudes that support lifelong well-being and academic success.

As part of our commitment, we offer a variety of programs and activities that promote student wellness, including:

• A school gardening club that teaches students about nutrition, responsibility, and the environment
  
• Morning yoga sessions on Wednesdays to help students start the day with focus and calm
  
• A comprehensive PreK–8th grade character education program that fosters respect, empathy, and resilience
  
• Health education that empowers students to make informed choices
  
• Special area classes that integrate lessons on health, physical activity, and nutrition
  
• Mindfulness practices to support emotional balance and self-regulation
  

We are dedicated to nurturing the whole child and creating a school environment that encourages healthy lifestyles and strong academic outcomes. At Laveen Elementary, we inspire growth and maturity from the “inside out” by cultivating awareness, resilience, and compassionate action.
