HEALTH WEEK!!!!!! :D

Soon LSA 2 will be proud to introduce HEALTH WEEK. Health week will be a week where we strive even more than usual to promote health & fitness. It will last from December 12th - 16th. There will be many activities and games in the recess yard for all ages. Some of the games will include steal the bacon and flag football. We will also have a health promotion table before and after school at which you will be able to purchase a healthy cookbook we have been working on (all the recipes are from our community). All proceeds from the cookbooks will go to charity. See you in two weeks at Health Week. Bye !!!! : )
