Let's Stay Active!

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is safe and healthy during this difficult time.



We as educators are still waiting on directives from the provincial government on how teaching and learning will proceed as this is unprecedented. Thank you for your patience during this time of uncertainty.

I would like to share the importance and benefits of being active and getting outside for fresh air. As we move forward, I will share several ideas of how you and your family can stay healthy and active during this time.

Today I would like to start with Getting your daily D.O.S.E 

 D - dopamine (builds motivation, improves memory, increases creativity)

O - oxytocin (develops trust, maintains optimism, promotes social skills)

 S - serotonin (boosts mood, regulates sleep cycle, empowers good decisions)

 E - endorphins (stress management, helps manage pain)
When we are physically active, our body releases chemicals that can have a positive impact on our health.

Stay Active! Stay Strong! Stay Positive!

Kind Regards,
Sherri Anwender
