Parents

"Health and education go hand in hand: one cannot exist without the other. To believe any differently is to hamper progress. Just as our children have a right to receive the best education available, they have a right to be healthy. As parents, legislators, and educators, it is up to us to see that this becomes a reality."
— Dr. Antonia Novello

Promoting Student Health

The Health and Wellness department publishes two monthly newsletters ("Teen Food and Fitnees" and "Nutrition Nuggets") that are designed to provide busy parents with practical ways to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity for their children.

These newsletters are posted in the news folder each month, along with other activities happening throughout Health and Wellness.
