The Metropolitan Education District (MetroED) was honored March 1 for its digital employee wellness newsletter by the California Schools Public Relations Association (CalSPRA), which presented MetroEd with an Excellence in Communications Award.
CalSPRA’s awards program recognizes superior achievement in meeting strategic goals through high-quality communications and public relations programs. MetroEd’s newsletter was among 386 submissions and one of 109 to receive an excellence award. Each entry is evaluated by communication professionals.
MetroED launched its newsletter, “Happy and Healthy Wellness Wednesday,” in November 2020 to serve its employees and provide mental and emotional wellness resources for total health: mind, body, and spirit. The newsletter was created to share and integrate self-care practice into the workday and serve as an employee well-being resource on and off the job.
Content includes articles and activities to foster support at work, things to help in the classroom, ways to build community and topics that benefit employees’ loved ones. The newsletter is designed to help employees make small changes to improve their sleep, mood, relationships and more.
MetroED is a regional provider of career technical and adult education. It is governed by a joint powers agreement that includes the Milpitas Unified School District.
