Welcome to Project School Wellness!
Larger class sizes. More standardized testing. Constantly changing objectives. Less funding.
Feeling like the pressure is piling up and somehow you’re supposed to keep your students’ well-being at the center of it all?
You’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it. These challenges are real and exhausting.
But here's the thing: despite all of this, you keep showing up. You keep showing up because you care. Because you know your students are so much more than test scores. Because you believe that education should be about helping kids grow, not just academically but emotionally, socially, and physically too.
That belief is where authentic and impactful health education begins.
The Comprehensive, Skills-Based Health Solution
Let’s pause and get something straight. Comprehensive, skills-based health education is not another program to add to your already full plate. And it doesn’t mean you have to toss out everything you’ve already been doing.
Honestly, you’re probably already doing it.
You’re already checking in on students’ emotions. Already teaching them how to manage conflict. Already making space for reflection, empathy, and real conversations. That is holistic health education.
What we do at Project School Wellness is help you put a name to it. We help you give it structure, purpose, and a shared language that makes these everyday moments even more impactful.
When students understand that every part of their life, how they sleep, who they talk to, how they express themselves, how they manage stress, is part of their overall health, everything changes. They start to see health as something they have ownership over. They start to develop the skills they need to manage and improve it.
And that’s the key: skills-based health education.
Why Students Need (and deserve) Health Education
If you’re here, you probably already believe in the importance of well-being. You see what your students are going through. You know that without stability, safety, and support, academic success doesn’t mean much.
Unfortunately, the education system still treats academic performance as the end goal. But we know better.
We know that students can’t thrive if their basic needs, emotional, physical, and social, aren’t being met. That’s why health education matters.
By weaving authentic health education into your classroom culture (no matter the subject) or restructuring your health classes, you’re giving students more than information. You’re giving them a roadmap for life. You're helping them build lifelong skills like managing stress, building self-awareness, setting goals, navigating relationships, and making values-based decisions.
This is what meaningful health education looks like. And it's exactly what the Project School Wellness Curriculum is built around.
How Project School Wellness was founded?
I first discovered the concept of wellness education while earning my master’s degree in Wellness and Lifestyle Management. As soon as I was introduced to the theory of wellness, something clicked.
It gave language to everything I believed teaching should be.
And I couldn’t stop thinking…
Why is school-based health comprehension and focused on the health skills?
Why doesn’t every student have access to these life-changing philosophy?
That curiosity turned into action. And eventually, that action became Project School Wellness, your go-to hub for health lesson plans, a full health curriculum, and resources that make it easier to teach wellness in real, meaningful ways.
Let’s Redefine What Health Class Can Be
If your admin is still giving you a dusty health textbook that barely touches mental health or skips over social media, relationships, or emotional intelligence, know there’s a better way.
Project School Wellness is here as your #1 health resource provider! We have hundreds of ready-to-use resources that align with national standards but still feel human. Lesson plans that go beyond the surface and get students thinking, sharing, and building real skills. Activities that help students actually practice being well.
Everything Project School Wellness shares is rooted in the belief that health class should teach kids how to live well, not just memorize vocabulary.
And best of all? It’s designed to be easy to teach. Whether health is your passion or a class you’ve been assigned with little guidance, we’ve got you covered.
So… Ready to Join the Skills-Based Health Education Movement?
Here’s your invitation.
Let’s create classrooms and schools where student well-being is a priority.
Where health education goes beyond outdated facts and starts giving students the confidence, knowledge, and skills to navigate real life.
Where teachers feel confident and supported in delivering meaningful instruction.
Whether you're teaching a full health curriculum or just looking to bring in a few meaningful moments each week, you're in the right place.
Start today with two free health modules (10+ lesson plans!) that you can use in-person or online. Just click below and I’ll send them straight to your inbox.

Meet Janelle
Just for some added fun, here are ten things about me...
1) I was born in California, raised in Texas, and currently live in British Columbia (update: now we’re back in California!). And my husband and I lived just outside of Shanghai during our first year of marriage.
2) I am a romance book girlie, especially sports romance (IYKYK)
3) I love Disneyland and all of its magic.
4) Tennis is my favorite sport to watch and play. One day I will go to all four majors.
5) Traveling the globe is my favorite hobby. I am halfway to my goal of visiting the 7 Wonders of the World ( + the Great Pyramid of Giza).
7 ) I would move to London, Hong Kong, or NYC in a heartbeat.
8) Running is my go-to exercise. I've run three marathons (now SEVEN!) and a handful of half marathons (update: now it’s 15+)
9) I think Lin-Manuel is a genius and would spend an exorbitant amount of money to see him be Hamilton.
10) I am a momma and very lucky to get to stay home with my littles!
I’d love to meet you! Say hello in the Project School Wellness Facebook group!
