There will be many special events happening this week as a part of Health Week at HES. The activities vary a bit from grade to grade, so here is a run-down of what our class will be doing each day.
Monday - A presenter will share the benefits of massage and teach some simple techniques that individuals can use to help stay alert when tired or to calm down when stressed.
Tuesday - The class will participate in Jump Rope for Heart. The fundraising envelopes went home in the Friday Folder. Students will have until after April Break to collect donations.
Wednesday - A presenter will share about the Japanese technique of Reiki. I have to admit that I don't know much about Reiki, so this will be a learning experience for me as well.
Thursday - Mr. Pogue will talk about his adventures hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Friday - The day will begin with a special, school-wide assembly.
Each day there is also a special color that students are encouraged to wear. Students will be offered a healthy snack of that color at snack time.
Monday - Red
Tuesday - Yellow/Orange
Wednesday - Blue/Purple
Thursday - Green
Friday - Pink (Students are encouraged to wear their pink breast cancer awareness shirts, if they purchased one)
Also, the April book order was sent home on Friday. It is due back on Thursday, April 9th, which hopefully means we should receive the books shortly after returning from break.
