Staying Connected

Hello Cambridge Families!

Boy do we miss you! The school feels so empty without you!

During our school closure, it's important we stay connected! I want to know how you are doing and what you’re doing to stay healthy.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at # 521-5619 or by email at sreed@cesvt . You can even visit me daily on my CES health blog!

My blog will focus on things like today's post, the proper way to wash hands or how to get a good night’s sleep - habits that will keep you healthy. I’ll also be sharing names of Community Resources such as 2-1-1 Vermont. 2-1-1 is one of many websites that has information and resources to help you improve and maintain health and wellbeing.

Face masks

Good morning Cambridge families, this week we talked about playing our part to stop the spread of germs by social distancing. Another practice just as important in stopping germs is wearing a face mask. Wearing a mask not only protects the person wearing it but more importantly, it protects those people that need extra protection like infants, the elderly and people that have chronic diseases. But sometimes face masks are confusing. You can't always recognize the person wearing one. You can't see their nose or their mouth. Sometimes it hard to hear what they're saying.

Nurse Reed reads Gregory the Terrible Eater

Good morning Cambridge Families, As you know, one of my favorite topics is how to stay healthy. I'm sure we would all agree that eating healthy food is a very important way to stay healthy. Have you ever noticed that sometimes we don't like a healthy food the first time we try it? Well, did you know you have to try a new food 10 times before your tastebuds can decide whether they really like the food or not? Gregory the Terrible Eater is the story of a goat who eventually learns to like the flavor of cans, boots and newspapers, those foods goats normally like, only by trying them over and over again. Maybe you can try to eat a new healthy food this week? Gregory the Terrible Eater
