WELCOME! to Current Health 2's Web extension for April/May 2009.

The school year is almost over and as your students look forward to fun times away from the classroom, Current Health 2 has their health questions covered in our last issue of the year. Even if the teens you teach aren't prepping for prom ("A Night to Remember") or getting ready to start a summer job ("Getting Along With the Boss"), we've got plenty of tips to help them make the most of their summer. From swimming to Lyme disease, sunscreen spots to mosquito bites, this issue is chock full of ways to have healthy fun.

We'd love to get your feedback on what worked in this issue, and what you'd like to see more of. Send your comments to CurrentHealth@weeklyreader.com. Thank you! Your ideas help make the magazine better for all of our subscribers and readers.

Best wishes for a well-deserved summer off, and we'll see you back in the classroom in a few months!

Cordially,

Meredith Matthews
