The Elementary Health Curriculum takes a comprehensive approach to understanding the many factors that influence our health. All lessons are connected to the Wellness Wheel and provide students with the opportunity to build skills and practice health enhancing behaviors that align with the National Health Education Standards. The curriculum is designed to be relevant to students' lived experiences, engaging, and a reinforcement of positive and accessible health behaviors.

Lesson summaries are available by grade by visiting the designated pages. Please note that lessons may not be taught in the order shown, and some lessons are missed due to snow days, field trips, and other events. Students have health class once every other week.

Meet Ms. Williams

I started teaching elementary health at Kearsarge in 2021. In addition to teaching, I coach the Varsity Field Hockey Team at the high school and am on the Board of the Outing Club.

I am a Kearsarge alumni with a BS in Health Promotion and Fitness and Women's Studies from Keene State College and a MEd in Health Education from Plymouth State University.

I love working with young people, and learning and talking about all things related to health. I live in the district with my husband, Scott and two children, SJ and Oscar.
