Nurse's Corner
95210 Health Initiative for the month of May:

“Eliminate (0) or minimize consumption of
sugar-sweetened beverages” daily 
The frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with weight gain/obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney diseases, non-alcoholic liver disease, tooth decay and cavities, and gout, a type of arthritis (CDC). High amount of sugar in our diet typically results in an increase of toxins which when broken down produce inflammatory messengers which may result in arthritis or other forms of inflammation. Research has shown that when the consumption of the SSBs is decreased, people are able to maintain a healthy weight and have a healthy diet.

Prayer Leaders

We will continue with prayers leaders alphabetically! Each family is asked to make a video of the student(s) and the family reciting the prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary, and St Joseph...Pray for Us) and then send the video to wsjsnews@sjschoolva.org
We look forward to continuing this wonderful tradition!
