Tami Karakasis Smart snacks provide double the energy; food for your brain and body.
Lorna McKee I like to run before and after school to de-stress and stay in shape. Planning my first half marathon in the spring!
Carol Torrey Cronk Last year my schedule allowed for time to get in a quick walk at nutrition break. I’m struggling to fit it in this year as often and I really do miss it. I felt more energized, in shape and in charge! Resolution — back out there tomorrow.
Katherine Zappala Fresh air, for sure. My walking at lunch has inspired some students to do the same with theirs!
Jason Singh Coffee — a habit from university that I haven’t dropped. Better believe the kids are always telling me how bad it is!
Carol Peterson I make DPA compulsory, OUTDOORS, every day. The fresh air, sunshine and exercise are as good for me as they are for the students.
