Each month Hands-on Health addresses
a topic from the Monthly Calendar of National Health Observances. It provides
current information and events related to the topic, along with a reproducible
page of facts, questions and/or myths.
This format makes the
newsletter available to teachers, faculty, and administrators, as well as
family and loved ones. Our goal is to motivate the entire school community
and family members to value and promote personal health and well-being.
Previous newsletters are available for your convenience, just click on the
