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.
