HEALTHY CHOICES
"Thoughts and feelings happen. Acting on them is a choice."
Healthy Choices is a four-week program for grades 7 & 8 students. It has public
heath nurses going into the classroom for one afternoon a week for four weeks to
discuss health related issues such as: Self-Esteem; Body Image; Peer Pressure;
Relationships; Drugs; Stress; Smartrisk; Choices.
This program uses interactive and innovative ways to educate students through a wide
variety of activities, games, videos, written assignments, and discussions. Each
goal and objective of Healthy Choices matches the objectives set out by the Healthy
Living Strand of the Ontario Curriculum: Health and Physical Activity Education
1998. Every school in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark area will be offered this
program every second year.
