Did you know about Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS)?

Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects more than 300 million people around the world and 24+ million in the United States. It is characterized by recurrent respiratory symptoms – cough, wheeze, shortness of breath and chest tightness. Click HERE to view videos.

To begin a Healthy New Year, St. Joseph Catholic School will again be adopting the 9-5-2-1-0 wellness plan. It is a plan to promote healthy lifestyles for our children. Our goal is to support our parents as they work to encourage healthy behaviors for their children


The mnemonic for 9-5-2-1-0 stands for:


9 Get at least 9 hours of sleep per day

5 Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day

2 Limit screen time to no more than 2 hours per day

1 Get at least one hour of physical activity per day

0 Avoid beverages with added sugar


We will dedicate each month to a different component of the program. Starting in October, we will focus on getting 9 hours of sleep each night. Information will be sent via Bernie's Bark and by the grade teachers via the classroom email. 

Volunteers Needed!
