“Holidays Around the World” December 12th . Gifts needed are:
Families:
Ask your child to tell you about our
C.O.R.E. value of the month, Joy.
C.O.R.E. values are part of the
Guidance program with Mrs. Copes.
The P.E. department will be kicking off a Jump Rope For Heart Drive when students return from
their holiday break. Money raised will go toward helping people learn how to
prevent heart disease and help with local patient care. A letter explaining in detail how the event works will be sent home the week of January 7 along with
permission slips and collection envelopes. Because cardiovascular disease is the
#1 cause of death of men and women in the United States, we encourage
everyone to participate in this worthy charity. Please remember to keep eating
right and exercising to live a long, healthy life.

Representatives Jose Castillo from Winn-Dixie Pharmacy
and Sara Bennett, University of Florida pharmacy
intern, presented an educational program about germs
and how they are spread to Citrus Grove Elementary
kindergarten, first, and second graders. Each group saw
a PowerPoint that discussed proper hand washing
techniques, and how to prevent the spread of germs. A
demonstration using glitter to represent germs showed
children how long you must wash your hands to get them
clean.

You probably didn’t go around in
December wishing people “Merry
Breakfast!” —
but maybe you should have.
Because one of the best ways to
avoid over-eating during the
holidays is to make sure you eat
breakfast every morning. Missing
that first meal of the day can cause
you to feel intense cravings and
extreme hunger, making it difficult to avoid
high fat, high sugar temptations. Keep it
healthy and substantial — something like a
veggie omelet with whole wheat toast and a
clementine or 2, or lean ham and egg on a
100% whole grain English muffin with a
banana, or a big bowl of whole grain cereal
with nonfat or lowfat milk, sweetened with
fresh fruit.
“Happy New Meal everyone!”
