February is Heart Health Month ♥️ and Children's Dental Health Month 🦷🪥. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Did you know that brushing your teeth and eating healthy foods keeps your teeth and your heart healthy too? Other things to do to keep your heart healthy are: • Keep moving. Exercise as a family; ride bikes, take a walk, go swimming, or play games outside. • Be positive. • Limit screen time. • Schedule checkups before sports season. • Keep healthy options on hand to eat. • Check salt intake.
Let's be healthy together!💪🏻💙
Mosaic Health Community Dental rescheduled their return visit to Whitesville School. They will be coming on Monday, February 5 to provide fluoride treatments to students age 6 and under who had been treated by them in the fall. Professional fluoride treatments are only administered by a dental professional and provide many great benefits for the teeth. It is a preventive therapy, which helps your body naturally fight cavities. Contact Mrs. Barner, School Nurse, if you have any questions. Healthy teeth make students smile!
It's been a great week for reading 💙🤍💙
Mosaic Health Community Dental will be returning to Whitesville Central School on Wednesday, January 31! The dental hygienist will be putting sealants on the teeth of those children 6 and under who had exams and cleanings 3 months ago.

We've all heard “it's better to give than receive”. What might surprise you is this is actually backed up by research. Those who are kind, generous and compassionate experience clear benefits to their well-being and happiness. They may even live longer! Kindness also helps reduce stress and improves emotional well-being. That includes being kind to yourself as well as others. So, in a world where you can be anything, be kind!

Did you know that at least 1 in 7 high school students vape? Many think that vaping is harmless, but the aerosol in vapes can contain harmful chemicals and metals that get inhaled into the lungs. Here is a link for parents to learn more about how to talk to teens about vaping: https://digitalmedia.hhs.gov/tobacco/educator_hub/about/for_parents?locale=en

At WCS, we want everyone to have a Healthy and Happy New Year! Just a reminder that washing hands with soap and water is still the most effective way to prevent the spread of illness. Using hand sanitizer is effective as well. There are times when one of the methods are better but stopping the spread of germs and staying healthy is the goal for both!

Happy Holidays from the WCS Yearbook Team!
Our CTE Home & Careers classes have all been practicing their kitchen skills so far this year. They research recipes from smoothies, pancakes, and fancy salads, and then vote on which one they'll make. Today, they mixed their own dressing, took orders, and hand delivered this amazing Caesar Salad to teachers during their holiday celebration. Check out their receipe here! Great job Blue Jays!
