How to Brush Your Teeth Properly

Good Morning Cambridge Families, today's health topic is tooth brushing!
We can all agree that having healthy teeth is important. Without them it would be hard to eat healthy food like fruits and vegetables. And think about it, your smile is the first thing people notice when they meet you. You also need your teeth to talk so people can understand you.

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.
