National Pet Week!



Good morning Cambridge families, it's National Pet Week! Did you know that while you are taking care of your pet, your pet is taking care of you?
There have been many studies that show owning a pet is good for your health! When you pet, cuddle or just spending time with your pet it helps decrease feelings of anxiety and loneliness and makes you feel better. And walking your pet is one of the best ways to keep you and your pet healthy.  Studies have shown people that walk their dogs walk on average an extra 30 minutes a day and we know exercise keeps us healthy. And because  pets are fun to spend time with, they can help us feel happier.
Celebrate National Pet week by sending me a picture of you and your favorite pet!

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. They can be uncomfortable to wear. The attached video is a social story that helps explain that even though people look different behind a mask, they are still the same person. Wearing a face mask is another way to play our part in protecting ourselves and others.

Need another reason to wear a face mask? Your own protection

  Need another reason to wear a face mask? Your own protection on  November 3, 2020  in  Community Health ,  Coronavirus ,  Infection Control ,  Infectious Disease  by  UVM Medical Center By Wouter Rietsema, MD, vice president, population health and information services, UVM Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital. At this point in the pandemic, we’ve learned that wearing a mask is the right thing to do because it protects the people around us. When we talk, cough, sneeze or exhale, facial coverings decrease the amount of infectious droplets that enter the air from our mouths and noses. I wear a mask to protect 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. 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
