What Do You Want?

We're trying to brainstorm ways to make Current Health even more useful to you and your students. As a teacher, what's important to you? What do you like about Current Health, and what would you like to see more of? Please e-mail us at currenthealth@weeklyreader.com and let us know what you think!

 

Here's to a Healthy Decade!

Welcome to the February 2010 issue of Current Health 2. Inside, you'll find feature articles about marijuana's effects on decision-making, alternatives to junk food, and making the most of your relationship with your parents. Also included are stories on oral health, eating disorders that affect boys and men, and the government's health data program Healthy People 2010.

Check out the Pulse section for a dose of health news your students can use, as well as our other monthly departments Safety Zone; What's Up, Doc?; ProjectHealth; and Get Up and Go! (Don't forget that you can download additional online-only Get Up and Go! materials to use with your students here).
