Health and Wellness Corner
Welcome to our health and wellness corner! Here we will share tips and stories to help our school community stay healthy, active, and connected.
Benefits of Drinking Water
According to Mealtime Memo, drinking water is not only healthy – it has zero calories and no added sugar – but also economical. Drinking enough water each day is crucial for the following reasons:
- Regulates body temperature
- Helps with weight maintenance
- Helps with blood circulation
- Prevents infections, dehydration, constipation, and tooth decay
- Delivers nutrients to cells and keeps organs functioning properly
- Improves sleep quality, memory, attention, and mood
Gardening & Farming: Growing Together
Our school garden is bursting with life! Want to help? Contact Cathy Boyer via email for ways to volunteer. At home, try planting seeds in a small pot—herbs like basil and mint grow well on windowsills!
Physical Activity: Move & Groove
Staying active is fun and important! Try the “Jump Rope Challenge”—how many jumps can you do in one minute? Remember, even a walk with your family or a dance party in your living room counts as exercise. Share your favorite ways to move with us!
Community Outreach: Helping Hands
Sometime during the second quarter we plan to hold a collection of canned and non-perishable food items that will support a local organization. Keep an eye out for dates on that and further information. Thank you in advance for supporting our community!
Stay healthy, stay happy, and keep making healthy choices every day!
