Holiday REST not Stress

                     Our DECEMBER MONTHLY CHALLENGE is on!!

This month we are focusing on  GREEN and RED Fruit and Vegetables!

(Make sure they cover half of your plate :-) )

We are also reinforcing ways for students and their families to DE-STRESS!!

  • The holidays can be just as stressful for children, as they are for adults!
  • Take extra time this month to draw, color, read more and just snuggle more.
  • Take long walks with your family and pets.

 

How do you handle the extra stress that comes with the holidays?

Jump Rope for Heart 2011

 

Pashley Students and Families helped raise $3,132.89 !!! for the American Heart Association

(This money gos directly into research and other educational needs).

Heart Facts…

 Did you know that a human heart beats… 70 beats/minute

A mouse beats… 700 beats/minute                                          

and…a whale’s heart beats…5 beats a minute

Students also had a chance to sign a banner, in remembrance of a family member or loved one that has been affected by heart disease. Thank you for your support, and raising awareness of heart disease.
