The good news is, there is light at the end of this "winter tunnel." That said, the cold weather has not stopped activities from being hot and heavy here at Lake Country School!
Just what have we been up to?
The LCS Fun Run & Fitness earlier this month was a Great Success! The effort put forth by our kids was fantastic, and their efforts took us all the way from Hartland, WI to Kansas! Great Job!
The 7th to 8th Grade transition for PE and Health has taken place with the start of the 3rd Quarter. That means the 7th graders have moved on to Elective Classes and Project Lead the Way and 8th graders have begun their Health, PE, and Guidance classes. This also means revisiting some of my favorite Units in PE! Anybody up for some badminton?!?
Our 6th graders continue to learn First Aid strategies in Health class as they put together their personal First Aid Kits. So, if you have a cut, burn, sprain, strain, or are choking, you know who to go to!
Snowshoeing! We are doing our best to put our new Snowshoes to work. The melting snow and frigid temperatures have held us back a bit, but we are ready to hit the trails and snowshoe our way right out of winter!
Sniffling the Winter Blues
The cold weather also tends to bring more...well...colds. During the cold and flu season (and really all the time), it is important to remember a few things:
WASH YOUR HANDS - ALL THE TIME! Hand-washing is the best way to prevent the spread of germs.
EAT HEALTHY FOODS - Getting the proper nutrients into your body is important to help it function at a high level. Don't forget your Vitamin C!
EXERCISE - Hmmm, diet and exercise are important - where have you heard this before? Research has shown that exercise can help boost your immune system to more effectively fight off colds.
What's next?
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
This year JRFH will be held on March 19th at Lake Country School. Details will come out soon. Prepare to once again be HEART HEROES!
