September 28th is Family Health & Fitness Day
Family Health and Fitness Day USA is on the last Saturday of September and it’s a day that promotes physical activity and health with your loved ones. We share genes with our family, but aren’t aware of the everyday habits we develop from our families as well. Food and health patterns tend to spread between family members when they live in the same household, which means that it can be hard to break out of unhealthy patterns when everyone else is doing it. Thankfully, Family Health and Fitness Day USA reminds us to put family fitness first.
Please remember to submit your student's sports physical to the Health Office to avoid any interruption in their sports season. Send directly to: Patramanisv@suttonschools.net
- Nurses will be conducting vision, hearing, postural, and SBIRT screenings. If you wish to OPT OUT your student - please contact the Health Office by October 1st @ 508-581-1652
- The Health Office is introducing the WOW Headache Method (Water, Oxygen, Wait). When a student reports a headache, we will first hydrate them with water, encourage relaxation with breathing techniques, and allow a 10-minute rest. This approach aims to alleviate symptoms naturally before considering over-the-counter medications. If the student does not have improved symptoms, with parental permission the student will then receive an over-the-counter medication.
