Miss Grace Gives Visitors a Tour Lakeview's Health Office

Every year Ms. Grace comes to our classroom and reads
The School Nurse From the Black Lagoon by Mike Thaler.
Then she takes us on a tour of the health office
to show us it is nothing like the boy imagines in the story!
Click here to see our visit in 2006.

Every Wednesday morning she imparts her
"Wellness Wednesday Words of Wisdom" to the whole school!

She invites all students and teachers to attend her
"Fitness Friday" program in the cafeteria before breakfast.
Thank you to Ms. Grace for winning this award for Lakeview School!
       
Lakeview School was one of 15 schools recently selected
to receive a $1,000 McDonald's Go Active! Academic Award.
The award funds Lakeview's "Fitness Friday - Fit for Life," a weekly 20-30 minute fitness-based activity designed to provide students the opportunity to participate in fitness activities that are fun, non-sports related, and can be applied to daily life. Students learn which activities affect muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and body type.

Kids get clues to chew on!

Mrs. Brooks, our reading teacher, took some photos of Ms. Grace, aka
The Vegegator, as she roamed around the cafeteria with her magnifying glass looking for students who were eating vegetables. Kids who have made the right choice at lunch are rewarded with a Happy Face sticker on their forehead.

The Vegegator sponsored a "Build a Better Body With 5-A-Day" sculpture contest. Students used at least five kinds of fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors to create a person. Check out the photos of the children's sculptures taken by Ms. Grace.

The Vegetable Song
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Carrots, peas, and broccoli,
Vegetables are good for me.
For my snack and in my lunch,
Veggie sticks are great to munch.
Carrots, peas, and broccoli,
Vegetables are good for me!
