Miss Cox's Week of March 15-19

Students will be continuing Health for the next few weeks. This week,
we will be doing a unit on nutrition and exercise. Please be aware
that your children will be completing a daily journal of their food
intake, including specific amounts. Please encourage them to make wise
choices in their food consumption. Your children may also come home
with questions about anorexia and bulimia. Please talk openly with
them about the dangers of such actions. There are many resources
available online. If you feel that your child may be struggling with
one of these diseases, or may have an unhealthy obsession with food,
please contact me or a doctor to stop the problem before it worsens.
Please be in prayer as we discuss these difficult topics.

Monday: none
