Echoes ~ Page 3 February 6, 2015 On April 3, 2015, Deer Canyon will be hosting our 3�� annual Wellness Day. On this day, all of our children will participate in a variety of activities designed to foster healthy living, good nutrition, and exercise. Morning activities will include classroom instructional activities and our annual Jog-A-Thon. We will be enjoying a school-wide picnic lunch from 11:00-11:30am. Finally, our students will be participating in a two and a half hour Health Expo from 11:30am – 2:00pm. During this time, groups of children will rotate through twelve 10minute stations, each focusing on healthy eating, physical exercise, and nutrition and health information. Our goal is to provide students with information to help them make good choices about nutrition and diet. It’s a great event! We are currently recruiting presenters for the Health Expo. Do you have a passion or talent in the world of athletics? Are you a master chef? Do you enjoy talking with children about health and wellness? We can use your help! Please email me at [email protected] for more information or to help with our Health Expo. The PTA is bringing Playground Partners to Deer Canyon recess!! The program began this past Tuesday, February 3��. This program, run by YMCA coach Dan Lauzon, is designed to provide a customized outdoor program that builds self-confidence, models effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and encourages positive behavior on the playground. Coach Dan will be offering a variety of activities throughout the ten week program to accomplish these goals during recess. Parents, Grandparents, Guardians, and Extended Family: According to the YMCA's experience with other PUSD schools, the success of this program is multiplied when volunteers can be on campus to assist Coach Dan in leading activities. If you enjoy being outdoors, and interacting with kids, this is a great opportunity for you! We'd love to have volunteers this Tuesday (2/10) or Thursday (2/12) from 9:45 to 11 am on whichever day fits your schedule best. If you like it and have the time to return in following weeks, please let Coach Dan know. If a weekly commitment is just not possible that's fine too. We'll take what we can get! Volunteers should sign in in the office when they arrive, and meet Coach Dan on the playground at 9:45 a.m. If you have any questions about volunteering, now or in the future, please contact Erin Mitchell at [email protected].
