Hello Christie Cub Families-
WOW! It's hard to imagine that we are already in week 3! This year has started off great and the PE/Fitness teachers are so excited to see all returning cubs and new cubs here at Christie. Just a quick reminder to please be aware of your child's Specials Schedule. We want to ensure that all students maximize their specials time by wearing the appropriate shoes/attire. It is very important when your child has PE and Fitness that they come prepared with running shoes. This is a safety issue. Our goal in PE/Fitness is to increase students' heart rate so they are more prepared and focus when they return back to their academic setting. As always, please feel free to contact any of the coaches as we're always here to support you and your student(s).

FIELD DAY ....
Hey Christie Cub Families-
Field Day is QUICKLY approaching and we are in need of volunteers. Below is a link to sign up if you would like to volunteer. You can sign up to help in the morning, afternoon, or BOTH. Whatever time you sign up for, we'll need you at that station, not walking around with your child's class. In the morning, we'll have some 5th graders helping at many of the stations, so we will need the most help in the afternoon but still welcome volunteers for the morning time. On the sign up link, you'll see that we also need volunteers to help with the Snow Cone machine and Dunk Tank! All volunteers will be provided with pizza, chips and salsa, fruit, water, and tea. Volunteers lunch will be from 11-12. Thank you and please make sure you check in at the front office. You will be assigned a station and directed where to go. You'll also
receive a description of your station to help you better understand the activity. See below for the sign up link....

As we close out the 2018-2019 school year, our focus within the Healthy Zone Program has been to "Create a Culture of Health." In the link below, you'll find information related to diabetes and exercise, comparisons of high-fructose corn syrup versus other added sugars, and information related to FitnessGram Reports. Please take a look at these articles as they contain excellent information. For parents who have students in grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th, students will be bringing home their personalized FitnessGram Report in their report card the last day of school. These reports focus on activities and skills that students worked on throughout PE and Fitness that ultimately lead to a healthier lifestyle. In Fitness, students were provided with a demo report to analyze. This is helpful for when they receive their personalized report, they can interpret the data and possibly make changes to better their own health. As always, the PE/Fitness coaches would like to wish every cub and their family a safe and happy summer. May you find activities and meals that provides for a healthier life style for all.

March Healthy Zone Newsletter ...
Hello Christie Families-
I can hardly believe that Spring Break is less than a week away. In all actuality, I feel like I blinked and January and February came and gone in a matter of seconds. Before you know, it will be the last day of the 2018-2019 school year. CRAZY!!! In this month's edition of the Healthy Zone Newsletter, we are still focusing on "Creating a Culture of Health." One of my favorite articles that hits home especially if you have kids of your own is called "Decrease Screen Time to Improve Overall Health and Vision." As crazy as it sounds, today's generation of kids have technology and devices at their fingertips. Because of this, children are spending a substantial amount of their daily time focused on a screen while their physical activity level continues to decrease. Therefore, early signs of childhood obesity and nearsightedness are on the rise. In order for students to establish a healthy lifestyle, it is highly recommended that they receive 60 minutes of physical activity a day. Let's help our children out by creating and establishing healthy goals while minimizing screen time.
