Today was National Walking Day! Not only did the staff at Patrick Henry challenge each other to see who could log the most steps during the day, but students also had the opportunity to walk around the track after they were done eating lunch. According to the American Heart Association, "A walk is not just good for your body, it's good for your soul. Physical activity is one of the best ways to reduce stress and boost mood."
Make plans to going skating this Friday night, April 5, 2024 from 8:00-10:00!
Last Thursday, Patrick Henry 6th graders gathered to hear local author, Tom Roberts speak about teens that struggle with mental illness. He shared his book called, "The New Norm." The main character in his book named Norm, battles his own negative perception of the world. By the end of the book, the illustrations become brighter and more colorful as Norm focuses on finding the sparks in his life.
