Educators feel the pressure all around them. As a principal, I certainly do as well. Whether it be addressing the learning loss many students experienced from these past few years, the pressures of high stakes testing, or the host of new policies and regulations that have surfaced, new initiatives are competing for limited instructional time. This leaves educators feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, searching for something to take off their plates.

You’ve heard of a triple play in baseball. Well, Joseph (Joe Joe) Sanchez-Munoz loves to dance, especially to Karol G and Bruno Mars. After his recent heart transplant at age 18, he asked his social worker if he could borrow the hospital’s helicopter to go to a Bruno Mars concert. He’s quirky and funny. And his doctors, nurses, and providers comment on his big smile, which is almost always spread across his face.

Ever since the birth control pill first came onto the market in the 1970s, women and girls have had to get a prescription from their doctor. For those in under-resourced and underfunded communities, this can present a challenge. Women in those areas are less likely to have access to effective birth control methods than those in other communities, and Mississippi has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the U.S.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Serotonin is a critical neurotransmitter for mood health. It is synthesized from its precursors tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HTP). Due to its role in serotonin synthesis , 5-HTP may be a supportive molecule for mood health, sleep quality, and age-related brain support. As an example of the bi-directional nature of the gut-brain axis, 5-HTP is produced by certain microbes found in the gut microbiome.
