Cold Weather Safety Tips & How to Stay Warm Outdoors

You can still go outside and be physically active this Fall & Winter.  Follow these steps to keep warm so you are safe and have an enjoyable time.

  1. Wear a hat, hood, & scarf, as most heat is lost through the head.
  2. Wear layers as they provide better insulation and warmth.
  3. Keep fingertips, earlobes, & noses covered on very cold days.
  4. Keep clothing dry; if a layer becomes wet, remove it.
  5. Shivering is the first sign that the body is losing heat.  Shivering is a signal to return indoors.
  6. Avoid fall hazards from snow and ice.

Be physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes each day!

 

                                                    

Hydrate For Your Health

For information about proper hydration and healthy lifestyle habits, click the following link: Hydrate For Your Health

Staying hydrated is an important part of being healthy.  Drinking plenty of water and enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables will help you stay hydrated.

Backpack Safety - How to Comfortably Wear a Backpack to/from School

Here are some important tips to follow to ensure a student is wearing his/her backpack safely:

1. Wear both straps

Why?  Wearing just one strap causes unnecessary one-sided stress on the body, especially on the neck, shoulders, and back.

2. Wear the backpack over the strongest mid-back muscles and close to the body

3. Use the waist or chest strap to better distribute the weight of a heavy backpack

4. Lighten the load of the backpack

Why?  It is recommended that a backpack not exceed 10-15% of a student’s body weight.

Parents and children should periodically clean out and organize the backpack to remove unnecessary items.
