November Fitness Calendar (English & Spanish) ...

Christie Cubs and Parents-

October has come and pretty much flown by, but hopefully you were able to establish some healthy habits together as a family.  November is National Diabetes Month.  This is a designated month to raise awareness of this ever-growing disease and focus on the many people who are impacted by it daily.  To learn more, please visit diabetes.org.  Here at Christie, we want all Cubs and their family to live a healthy active lifestyle.  Therefore, check out the November Fitness Calendar.  It will be coming home towards the end of the month, but you can get a start today!  Make sure you're finishing up your October Fitness Calendar along with a parent signature and please give it to Coach O'Brian for a reward.  As always Cubs, keep moving!

October Healthy Zone Newsletter: Creating a Culture of Health

Hey Cubs in the October Healthy Zone Newsletter it's all about Creating a Culture of Health.  Ms. Lagos (2nd grade teacher) and I (Coach O'Brian) had the privilege and opportunity to represent Christie Elementary by participating in this years orientation at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.  It was super inspiring to learn ways to increase physical activity and improve healthy eating habits here at Christie.  The statistics, on the other hand, were quite revealing regarding the number of childhood obesity as it continues to rise.  We know that what are students are eating and their physical activity can and does play an important role on their learning within the classroom.  Remember it takes us to model good habits and behaviors.  Therefore, let's take a few extra minutes every day to walk a little more and add vegetables/fruits to our dinner meals and daily snacks.
