The Leader In Me - The 7 Habits of Happy Kids
Practice Using the 7 Habits at Home!
As we learn about and practice using the 7 Habits at school, we want to share out activities that families can use to practice the 7 Habits at home. This week our focus is on Habit 6 - Synergize.
TOGETHER IS BETTER!
WHAT IS SYNERGY?
Synergy is:
- Celebrating differences, not being intolerant.
- Working together, not working independently.
- Being ope-minded, not thinking you are always right.
- Finding new and better ways, not being selfish.
"Synergy is not just teamwork or cooperation. Synergy is creative teamwork, creative cooperation. Something new is created that was not there before."
- Stephen R. Covey

November Health Tips From Nurse Anna
November - National Diabetes Month
Dear Parents/Guardians,
November is National Diabetes Month, a time to educate communities about diabetes. This year’s focus is on taking action to prevent diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) is too high. It affects about 37 million Americans, including adults and youth. Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and it is linked to some types of cancer.
But there’s good news: Taking charge of your health may help prevent diabetes such as planning healthy meals, being physically active and getting enough sleep. Establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a healthy weight are important in reducing your risk of developing diabetes.
Healthy goals can be reached by following the 5-2-1-0 rule each day. Every day we should strive to eat five servings of fruits or vegetables, get two hours or less of screen time per day, move our bodies in a healthy way for one hour every day, and drink zero sugary beverages. If this sounds like too much, start small and slowly increase these important goals into your family’s lifestyle.
Eisenhower students will have hearing and vision screenings November 6th, 7th and 8th. If your student wears glasses/contacts, please remind them to wear them during their screening. Results will be in their backpacks.
Enjoy the beautiful fall weather.
Be well,
Anna Robinette, RN
