Digging Deeper

I am always learning as a physical education teacher and health practitioner. Each week I will post different articles and topics to get you “digging deeper” about exercise, nutrition, and health.

I always tell my students that the small changes that you make in your health program will add up to huge benefits. Students will read articles in class on Wednesday’s and learn about many subjects from the world of health, nutrition, and exercise. Read the articles below and see what small changes you can make today!
