The latest winners of the Above & Beyond Award are the
wellness captains, part of the Topeka Public Schools’ Wellness Program since
2010. Each building has a person who has
volunteered to be a wellness captain. Their job is to coordinate activities,
communicate policies and changes and guide employees to a healthier
lifestyle. Marie Carter, who nominated
the wellness captains for the award, said “Their willingness to lead, the
selfless contributions they make in behalf of their co-workers and the wellness
program and the daunting tasks they are prepared to do are endless and greatly
appreciated. It is without reservation
that I nominate collectively every wellness captain who is currently serving or
who has served in the past.”
