Saludos de la PTA!
Como se acerca el verano, nos gustaría proveer a nuestros estudiantes de GES con pistas de cómo mantenerse seguros y saludables! Siempre usen bloqueador solar para prevenir daño a la piel durante esos lindos, largos días de verano. Montar en bicicleta es un buen ejemplo de ejercicio- pero el uso de un casco es muy importante para la seguridad de su cabeza y cerebro! Estos son solo unos de los temas que hablamos con los estudiantes durante las Platicas de Salud en el Centro de Bienestar. Estas visitas de educación de salud también son una oportunidad para conocer a la proveedora del Centro de Bienestar, Chrissy Bartz PAC- quien da servicios en la escuela todos los días- Lunes a Viernes de 8am-4pm. Adicionalmente, el Jueves, 5 de mayo el Comité de Bienestar en GES estará patrocinando un Feria de Salud, comenzando con una cena saludable GRATIS, y después una oportunidad para aprender más sobre el tabaco y varios recursos en nuestra comunidad para mejorar la salud de su familia! Si tiene preguntas sobre la Feria de Salud, Platicas de Salud, o de otros servicios del centro de bienestar, por favor siéntase libre de contactarnos al 410-482- 9148 o la enfermería. Recuerde- Niños saludables hacen mejores estudiantes!
