Wellness

Strengthening the Mind, Body, and Character

Since our charter began, we've placed a strong emphasis on helping our students become the best and healthiest versions of themselves; but, with the rise of childhood obesity and mental health issues in our young people, we've felt called to do more for our students and their families.  To do this, we've launched our 'A Healthier Me' Wellness campaign. 

Objective

To inform, educate, and assist, our students in living their best life. We have done that by creating a well-rounded wellness curriculum that encompasses healthy lifestyle habits and physical fitness to extend beyond the traditional "P.E." classroom.

NUTRITION: Hydration

Dehydration

Dehydration can occur quickly in hot weather, especially if you’re physically active. Here are some tips to stay hydrated:

  • Drink Plenty of Water: Aim for at least 64 ounces of water per day, and increase intake if you’re active or in hot conditions. Encourage kids to drink water regularly throughout the day.
  • Eat Hydrating Foods: Include foods with high water content in your diet, such as watermelon, cucumbers, and celery.
  • Avoid Dehydrating Drinks: Limit caffeine and sugary beverages, which can exacerbate dehydration.
  • Monitor Urine Color: If your urine is dark yellow, it may be a sign that you’re not drinking enough water.
