To all parents and guardians,
As you have heard in the news, it has become increasingly important to
stress the needs to our children, plus ourselves, that we must be at all
times, aware of the rise of communicable diseases. Also, the rise in child-
hood health issues.
Illnesses are being contracted, such as seasonal flu and a number one
concern this year, swine flu. Please stress on a daily basis, the
importance of hand washing, and the covering of their mouths when coughing
and sneeezing. They must be heightened to a new awarenes.
Another concern worldwide is the obesity in our young children, which
has caused diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and an enormous
rise in other health issues. Please try to make sure your children, as well
as you, are eating healthy and exercising regularly. As a Pysical Education
and Health teacher, I am truly concerned with the health of the children
that I encounter. Please help me to make this a wonderful and healthy time
for your child, that they will be to use as a lifelong goal! Uust a frriendly
reminder, gym classes begin the week of September 21th.
