Let’s Celebrate Wellness Week

October 3-7

The mission of the Wellness Committee is to empower and educate our children so that they will make independent positive choices that support a healthy lifestyle.

Calendar of Events

Monday, Oct.3:

“Catch your Zzzz’s” Make sure you get at least 9.5 hours of sleep each night so that you are ready for an action packed day of learning and fun.

Tuesday, Oct.4:

“An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away” Don’t bring a snack to school because you will be provided with a fresh delicious apple from family owned Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, GA.  This apple will be 1 serving of the 5 fruits and vegetables you should eat each day. 

Wednesday, Oct. 5:

“Walk this Way” Walk to school day, there isn’t a better way to limit screen time than exercise.  

Thursday, Oct. 6:

“Let’s get Physical” Wear your favorite sports jersey or workout clothes to school (but nothing that will distract you from your learning) to emphasize the importance of getting at least 1 hour of physical activity each day. 

Friday, Oct. 7:

“Love my H2O” Bring a refillable, BPA free water bottle to school and keep hydrated all day long.  Water is the best no sugar added beverage around!

Week Long Contest:  You will be entered into a random drawing when you submit your non food idea for perfect attendance recognition awards.  The winner in each grade will receive a $50 West Stride gift card.  Limit of 1 entry per person.  Entry form and entry deposit are located in the office of the PC & MC.

Don’t forget to talk up the daily theme at home…What a great way to connect with your family around the dinner table!
