One Shot In Each Arm!  Protect yourself against illness and missing school (and protect your community as well)! You can get your flu shot and your next Covid booster (now giving new bivalent version effective against variants!). Make your appointments now!
 
If you have just had Covid, THIS is helpful information.
 
COVID: Please call in your student’s absence to the Attendance Recorder and continue to follow the district’s Covid guidance. The school is not notifying teachers, so students should access Canvas as much as possible and stay in contact with their teachers to communicate their remote progress in their classes. Here is a  California COVID-19 Isolation & Quarantine Calculator. And here is additional information about staying uptodate with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.

Please see my website for more information on medications, health issues, forms, etc.
 
I was still at home at the beginning of this week with Covid (yes, it’s true). I took the opportunity to get rid of some expired items in my pantry. I found some of the ingredients (unexpired!) for a pumpkin bread from the Forks Over Knives magazine (see below) to make. Good healthy snack or breakfast.
 
Nutrition Tips for the week:  

  1. Use smoothies to include fruits and vegetables in your breakfast or snack. Stock up on frozen fruits and keep spinach and bananas on your regular market list.      I love including a Dragon Fruit smoothie pack in mine – nutritious and gorgeous pink color.
  2. Pick up the new copy of Forks Over Knives magazine at your local supermarket.  Great ideas for fall recipes and it’s just a wonderful collection of food photos.

 
Portable Yoga:  LOL! All yoga is portable!  Try this Subtle Yoga practice (you do need a connected digital device to access a browser).
