And the school bell
rings for
Spring 16
Welcome to Second Semester!
We’re off to a running start! As Class Rep, I frequently get announcements and news to share
with you. I use this opportunity of a newsletter to share what I know… (and I get to reminisce
about being a teacher, too!) Thank you for this privilege!
Coming THIS Friday… National Wear Red Day– Go
Red for Women
FEBRUARY 6, 2015… Ask any stylist, job coach or dating expert and they’ll tell you that red
stands out. Eyes are immediately drawn to it. Some even say that the color red is a confidence
booster and makes you feel powerful. Maybe that’s why we chose the color red to signify our
fight against the No. 1 killer in women. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that it’s also the color of
our hearts.
In 2003, the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute took
action against a disease that was claiming the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each
year – a disease that women weren’t paying attention to. A disease they truly believed, and
many still believe to this day, affects more men than women.
Stemming from that action, National Wear Red Day was born. It’s held on the first Friday in
February every year to raise awareness about heart disease being the No. 1 killer of women.
This coming National Wear Red Day, Feb. 6, 2015, marks our 12-year anniversary. And looking
back on all we’ve accomplished, we’ve really made tremendous strides. They include:
Nearly 90% of women have made at least one healthy behavior change.
More than one-third of women has lost weight.
More than 50% of women have increased their exercise.
6 out of 10 women have changed their diets.
More than 40% of women have checked their cholesterol levels.
One third of women has talked with their doctors about developing heart health plans.
But despite our progress, women are still dying. They’re still unaware of their risks and the facts.
And now’s not the time for complacency. It’s time to stand stronger, speak louder and join us in
the fight this National Wear Red Day. (excerpt from AHA)
THOSE WHO WEAR RED… We’ll take a heart-shaped picture made of humans wearing red
shirts after the CNSA meeting on Friday!
