Heart Healthy

Last week BES sponsored a blood drive for GCPS faculty and staff and collected 39 units of blood to help our community.
 
This week students will practice being heart healthy.  Monday while at recess we are asking classes to walk as much as possible!  We are trying to create habits for healthy hearts and bodies!  There will be water and fruit to replenish ourselves throughout the walk! Also, it is Kindness Week!  Be sure to see the flyer below to know what to wear for each day.
