Tiger Times

Each month, I have the privilege of working with the Tiger Times students at Tusculum View Elementary School on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of that month. We have a great time together, learning about the 8 guiding principles that affect our overall health and wellness. On the 2nd Tuesday of the month, we discuss in detail the first 4 letter principles, C - Choice, R - Rest, E - Environment, A - Activity and how they specifically relate to our health.

This past week was the 3rd Tuesday of the month, so we discussed in detail the last 4 letter principles, T - Trust, I - Interpersonal Relationships, O - Outlook and N - Nutrition. As always, we played interactive games to teach these health principles, and I got to leave them with some Creation Health goodies on my way out.

Next month, I look forward to doing it all again with a new group of students!
