Health Curriculum - September Update

Dear Middle School Parents and Students,
This week, September 28 and September 29, I began teaching my portion of the Health Curriculum for the first quarter. Our second class will be on Monday October 5 and Tuesday October 6. Each grade has been given a small homework assignment that will be due NEXT week when his/her class meets for health with me. We will meet next week on Monday and Tuesday during the PE class time slot. Below are the assignments that we given out and reviewed in class with the students. If your child is or will be absent during a health class, I will meet with him/her individually and discuss the assignment and material and deadlines will be adjusted appropriately. It is always a pleasure to present to your children and to promote overall health and fitness.

Yours in Health,

Theresa J. Ferlotti RN
School Nurse
