Health Education
Please be sure during this time of social distancing and digital learning, that you are taking care of yourselves and others. All healthy habits that we discuss in class should become apart of your daily routine. Each day, get your body moving, fuel it with nutritious meals, drink plenty of water, go outside and soak in the sunshine and breathe in the fresh air, reach out to friends and family, try a new skill at home, get plenty of sleep. We are all in this together!
"Wellness is not a 'medical fix' but a way of living - a lifestyle sensitive and responsive to all the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit, an approach to life we each design to achieve our highest potential for well-being now and forever."
~Greg Anderson
In health class, we focus on different components of wellness, not just physical health. In 6th grade, students learn about 3 components using the Health Triangle. When they move up to 7th and 8th grade, they learn about 7 total components.

A little bit about me...
I am so excited to start my third year at Cawley! I went to Plymouth State University to earn my degree in Health and Physical Education as well as to play Lacrosse. I just recieved my Graduate Degree at Southern New Hampshire University in Public Health.
I was married in September so my name has changed from Ms. Lander to Mrs. Deane :)
I really enjoy traveling, swimming, riding horses, hiking, going for runs with my dogs and reading! Health has been a passion of mine every since I was in Middle School and had my first Health Education class. I find it so important to incorporate all the components of wellness into my everyday life and look forward to sharing that with you!!
I know we are going to have a great year!
