Pedestrian safety

Good morning Cambridge families, hope you are all wearing your comfortable shoes today.
Please remember to practice social distancing when you walk for at least 30 minutes with me and thousands of other walkers in Vermont and all over the country in Celebration of today's National Walk at Lunch/Recess Day. Walking is fun and good for our body.
Knowing how important it is to be safe, I thought it would be smart to revisit the rules for pedestrian (walker) safety. Remember to walk with a family member or trusted adult using the rules you learn in this video.

You wear a mask to protect me. Now, there is growing evidence that masks also provide protection for the wearer. In fact, studies show that some people who were infected with COVID-19 are still alive today because they wore a mask. So how are masks making a difference? They let significantly fewer v...

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
