Take care of your heart! Choose the path of wisdom and come home safely to us whenever you can. You are loved in this place and will always find an open door. – Joan Boyd Short Her message resonated with me.

We’re in the final stretch! Grades are in, comments are done, and we’ve only got a few days left with the kids. In many core classes, this means students will be watching movies, so I hate to make them sit through another one with me as well. Here are some filler activities for health class that are fun and don’t involve a DVD.
