What is Wellness Week? Our school has been participating in a program called Fitness for Life: Elementary School. Four times a year , as a school, we will be participating in a Wellness Week. We just completed our second Wellness Week where the activity focus was vigorous exercise, focusing on cardiovascular fitness. We know that good cardiovascular fitness enhances health, and is needed for activities such as jogging, running, and playing many different games and sports. A Healthy Heart is a Happy Heart! The nutritional focus for the week was "Whole Grains - Fuel for your Body!" We talked about the importance of Grains, and how we need to eat some everyday. Our school TEAM activity was a Tae-Bo aerobic workout by guest instructor Shany Guillotte. The entire student body met in the gym and had a great workout! What better way to follow up a great workout than with a "Breakfast for Champions!" Thanks goes out to Gord and the staff from Extra Foods for our breakfast of cereal , milk, juice, granola bars, raisins, and fresh fruit. It was delicious!!!
