SCHOOL GOAL 

We are using the “Be Good People” program school wide to help students build important life-skills. These will help students navigate emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible choices. In term one, we are focusing on skills that promote taking care of ourselves, which is the first pillar in our Jarvis Code of Conduct. To help continue the conversations at home, we are including a “Did you Know?” in the Week at a Glance.

Movement: 

Did you know that school kids need at least 60 minutes of activity daily? 

Here are some health benefits of daily movement:

-sharper focus

-better memory (brain power)

-higher grades

-happier moods

-stronger bodies

-better sleep
