Let's Spring Into Health!

Did you know? Walking just 30–60 minutes a day, combined with a plant-forward diet, can lead to:

• More energy and improved mood

• Better sleep patterns

• Stronger bones and muscles

• Improved balance and coordination

• Better weight control

• Healthy habits can reduce your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. If you already have a chronic condition, these habits can help you manage it and improve your quality of life.

Bottom line: No matter your age, it’s time to take responsibility for your health. Let’s make the commitment—do it for the health of it!

The Dolphin Dash is an annual fun-run and our school’s most important fundraiser! Students will run with their peers during school on March 27. All funds raised are invested directly in the school and our students. This year’s Dash will fund a new STEM lab for use by all classes, purchase online learning programs, provide classroom supplies, and support teacher needs. All donations are greatly appreciated!
