One Hour of Play Every Day
Physical activity makes you feel better and gives you more energy. Growing kids need 60 minutes of exercise each day. You can always break up your exercise into shorter 10-15 minute bursts. Encourage kids to try out something fun like playing tag, enjoying a new sport, or exploring your local park. Stuck indoors? Don't sit on the couch- get up and move! It doesn't matter what you do, just be active and play at least 60 minutes every day!

Cold and Flu Season Continues
As cough, cold and flu season continue please remember to keep your children home from school when they are experiencing influenza like symptoms, a cough and/or sore throat accompanied by a fever of 100 degrees or higher, as well as when they are experiencing gastrointestinal illness symptoms such as vomiting and/or diarrhea. We suggest that children remain home until 24 hours after the last time they have vomited or had diarrhea as well as 24 hours after their fever of 100 degree or higher has been gone without the aid of fever reducing medication such as Tylenol/acetaminophen, Aleve/naproxen or Advil/Motrin/ibuprofen.
