Dear EMK families,
It is important for children to come to school emotionally and physically healthy.
Studies have shown that children’s physical well-being has a significant effect
on their learning and long-term success. When children are well-rested,
well-nourished, and physically fit they are more ready to learn.
Every parent wants his or her child to be happy and healthy. Parents share the
responsibility of ensuring their child's well-being with teachers, the community,
its members, and all its services. Learning the facts about various health
concerns is key to this common effort.
National PTA is committed to building healthy families and healthy communities,
and believes we all have an important role to play in making sure parents, schools,
and communities have the support and resources they need.
At this time there are two pieces of important information that our EMK PTA
would like to share with every
are attached to this e-mail:
1. Healthy Halloween suggestions from the EMK PTA Healthy Lifestyles Committee

Estilos de vida saludables de PTA: Guía para padres: http://www.pta.org/Documents/GSK_booklet_spanish.pdf
Please look for future Healthy Lifestyles news and events on our EMK PTA web site
and in weekly EMK PTA news updates. We encourage you to attend our monthly PTA
meetings to learn more about what the EMK PTA is doing to encourage every McKnight
family member to live a healthy lifestyle. If you are interested in helping this Healthy
Lifestyles committee in any capacity, please send an e-mail to
healthylifestyles@emkpta.org.
Thank you!
The EMK PTA Board
