Research shows that healthy teachers and staff are happier and more satisfied. Educators are so focused on the needs of students; they don’t always take the time to take care of themselves first.
This month, the
Alliance for a Healthier Generation* and
Kaiser Permanente Thriving Schools** are striving to flip that script with
#TeachersTAKE5, and School Nurse Organization of Washington is proud to support them. Why? Because to have healthy schools, we need healthy school employees. By taking just 5 minutes a day to focus on their own health, both in and out of school, educators can stay energized and reduce stress.
Ready to get started?
