Health is Wealth: Discussing the Importance of Personal Wellbeing
Before we can prepare our students for their futures, we have to be willing to put our health first.  I believe we are not able to give our best to our students when we neglect our bodies and put other things in front of our personal wellbeing. During this session we will discuss the importance of self-care as educators. We will practice meal preparation, discuss the importance of physical activity, define personal wellbeing as individuals, and allow for a round-table discussion to learn tips and tricks from other educators on how they promote a healthy lifestyle. Please reach out to me at kclark@pendletonsd.org if you have any food allergies, as we will be making a couple small food items to practice meal preparation.
