Our school health council,
in its third year of existence, has planned some exciting activities for
our students and staff. The council has a bulletin board in the
Commons Area where each month they feature a tip to promote a healthy
lifestyle.
Returning this year and very popular with the students is "Fun Food Friday." Each month features one part of the food pyramid and/or a healthy lifestyle tip, complete with samples! The School Health Council hosted the Body Walk in October. Students had the opportunity to tour the body and find out the functions of body systems "up close and personal" so to speak. At each of the home basketball games, the Health Council sponsored an "Answer the Health Question" contest. The winner of the contest received a wonderful basket full of healthy items. |
