This week we celebrated our “Top 10 Library Patrons” of the first semester, honoring students who have embraced reading as a gateway to curiosity, growth, and imagination. Their enthusiasm sets a powerful example for their peers, reminding us all that books open doors to new ideas and help nurture a lifelong love of learning. Top patrons include Sophia W., Mila P., Elijah D., Christian A., Evelyn L., Khole J., Natalie C., Elizabeth R., Emily H., and Lillian P. (not pictured)

February is American Heart Month! The students who have been by my office this week may have noticed my poster discussing ways to “Live Smart for a Healthy Heart”. It is never too early (or too late) to adopt heart-healthy habits. One example is to start your day with whole grains, or lean protein. Whole grains and protein keep your body fuller for longer, and whole grains (as opposed to refined grains) help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. I look forward to sharing more heart-healthy tips throughout this month!
Your School Nurse, Ms. Zamorano
