Thursday, January 14th 6:30pm-7:30pm in the library
Our next meeting will be a productive one - please invite fellow parents to come along and/or send out a quick reminder email about our upcoming meeting. We try and make these meetings very productive and are adamant that we end on time!
In the November newsletter Principal Nacke shared this:
"As our young people at Pueblo work to achieve their goals, I would like to bring forward some worrisome information that can negatively affect our kids’ future.
- This generation of kids is the first generation whose life expectancy is shorter than their parents.
- 83% of Arizona teens do not eat the recommended 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables daily.
- Arizona teens watch an average of 3 hours of TV on a school day or are on the computer at least 3 hours a day outside of school.
- 68% of Arizona teens do not get the recommended 60 minutes of daily exercise.
- 12% of Arizona teens are obese and that number continues to rise"
When I saw that first item on the list - I was devastated! In lieu of that information and the renewed sense of motivation that comes with the new year, we have decided to focus this month's PTO meeting on Keeping our Kids Healthy. We will have a great opportunity to hear from certified fitness & registered Yoga instructor Julia Pearl (www.fitnesswithjulia.com). Kick-off the new year by learning some empowering tips for developing more healthy exercise & nutrition habits for your kids.
