February was Children's Dental Health Month and the kindergartens participated in a Coloring Contest after learning about how to keep their teeth healthy. Winners from each class got a goodie bag from the Delta Dental of Minnesota program including a water bottle, toothbrush, toothpaste and a tooth timer. All students got a new toothbrush!

All 7th-12th grade students in Advisory are receiving a bag of information and goodies from HOPE...an organization in Aitkin whose mission is to end violence and provide safety through direct services, education and advocacy to all people experiencing domestic violence. They provided each student with a pamphlet on dating violence/healthy relationships, a business card for a teen support group, a pin, a lens cleaner, a mask, some Purell, and some candy. Thank you, HOPE, for all you do for our community and caring about our students.

Check out what these talented students have created in art class! Nice work!

Mr. Swanhorst's class has been working on an obituary assignment. The Obituary activity is a small group project as a follow up to our substance unit Health class. The students select a drug with the main objective of researching it thoroughly to capture a deeper understanding of the substance. The groups are required to present their research, construct a poster about the drug, and to create a fictitious Obituary of a person dying due to the drug use. The process allows the students to work with others to accomplish required tasks and to experience public speaking. The challenge on the poster is to develop it so it is eye-catching and informative because they are posted on the wall outside the classroom for the student body and faculty to learn from their hard work.
Thank you to the many sponsors, Ranger Ride and The CRES Physical Education Program were able to purchase a bike fleet and helmets! These will be available for Phy. Ed classes at CRES and for anyone who needs a mountain bike during Ranger Rides!

This year’s National Nutrition Month theme is Personalize Your Plate. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and health. We are all unique with different bodies, goals, backgrounds and tastes! And a registered dietitian nutritionist can tailor a healthful eating plan that is as special as you are.
