Today we started a program called Power4Bones. Students will be working through various activities throughout the next month as they learn about healthy bones, and will be creating a public service announcement at the end. Please see below for more information.
Over the next couple of months, your child will be participating in a fun learning program called Power4Bones.
This program teaches students in grade 4 about how to build and maintain strong bones and encourages them to take care of their bones with bone-building foods and physical activities. Power4Bones was developed because research shows that Alberta kids aren’t eating well enough, or getting enough physical activity, to keep their bones strong.
Learning about good bone-health habits now may reduce kids’ risk of breaks and fractures when they are young and decrease their risk of getting osteoporosis (brittle bones) when they are older.
The program is not just about health. It also helps students develop and use their language, communication and technology skills. I hope you and your child will benefit from Power4Bones and that you will get the whole family involved in learning about bone-health.
Reminders
- Conferences on Thursday from 4:30-8:00pm and Friday from 12:00-4:00pm
- Please continue to send in any cardboard/cereal boxes and any one-sided scrap paper
