My biggest consern is the flu not just the swine flu but any and every flu.I think for people to stay healthy they should eat right and exersize at least 30 minites a day.It is important that even adults stay healthy. Ashley.

Palm Springs Unified School District is focusing on health this year.  Concerns include the Swine Flu, childhood obesity, "couch potatoes," limited P.E. in the elementary schools, etc.  President Obama just gave a speech about health insurance.  What are your greatest concerns and what can we do so that we all stay healthy or become healthier?

I think that instead of just sitting there we can go outside and play sports there are many of sports out there.

Another thing we can do is start actually getting into P.E. at school because it can help you get healthier and also it is a grade so you might as well. Ashley. 

I think we should have sports 2 days a week and run the mile 3 days a week. Running 3 days a week will help are body build stonger bones and we will stay healthy.

Marissa

                                        I think that all kid should play more sports and run more p.e teacher should give prize to the presem who run fast. keiontae

I think we should limit what on how many times you can eat fast food a week. There should be allot more better tasting vegtable's food at fast food restaurants

Isaiah

I believe people should be active always even if your lazy at least 20 minutes a day.

Angela

yes people shuld do lazy but some people can not do lazy for 20minutes it should be 15 minutes.keiontae 

I think that we should have better sports during p.e so more kids can play wat they like the most instead of walking around.

Aldo

Since kids spend most o f their active time at school, I think that schools should give healthier foods at lunch. We should also stop being lazy and start exercising. You'd be surprised by how good you will feel when you're healthy.

Laura

I think that another importantt health issue is that even though people need to go to the hospital, they refuse to go because their afraid they can't affford it. People need to visit their doctor regularly, for normal check ups. If people start getting check ups regularly that can help save a lot of lifes. I think the health insurance companies should something about it, so people can live healthier lives. 

Laura

I believe that we should excerise more like doing push ups or sit ups or playing sports with some friends.-Charlie

I agree with Isaiah when he said that we should limit fast food because if you eat it a lot then you will bi unhealthy.-Charlie 

I think kids should do exersise at their house and at school and get more active into sports. I think the pe teacher should let the kids do the sport they want to do if they don't they won't get active.          Emily  .                IF        you don't eat lots of junk food and eat more healtier things. But if you eat lots of junk food you won't be healthy so kids should cut junk food and eat healtier food.         

I think we should least play for a hour or something and if you are sick you should stay home so you do not get anybody else sick. I think we should start eating healthier food so we do not get sick. Joseph 

I think that elementary schools should also have P.E. every day!? There the ones that could get sick easier because there younger. And maybe schools should stop giving hot cheetos for lunch and maybe something healther and more fruit and vegetables not pizza and burritos....they should give juice to drink haven't they thought of people that don't like milk!!!! We all should start thinking healther.

Aurora

$$MARTIN$$  I agree with marissa cause you could get any flu and thn you could get your family sick to , but if your healthy and strong you have a less chance to get sick.

Hilario- I think that every single couch potato should go outside and exercise. Every single one. Why? Because a lot of obese people are walking around us every day. Look at the new sixth-graders that came in this year. They are all short and fat. I bet its because in the elementary schools, they give greasy food, and only one day a week for P.E. I think its great we have to run a mile two days a week and play sports three days a week. I am scared of the swine flu. A lot of people are getting the flu, and alot of people are dying.People are whining because they are fat, but it is their fault because they don't exercise. People should exercise 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, at least.

Hilario- I think Aurora is right, we should vote to have elementary schools have P.E. every day, and that they should give healthy food. I mean, chips are okay but not the greasy nasty ones. My syster doesn't eat elementary school food, so she isn't fat, but my friends' brother eats lunch food over there and he is kind of fat.

VICTOR- I say people should workout, go for jogs, eat healthy, or walk your dog there is so many things you can do exercise for at least 30 minutes a day for 3 days a week like hilario said.

VICOTR- For the swine flu I say wash your hands before you eat,dont not share drinks or food. Also stay healthy because if you are healthy you will have a strong imune system but if your weak your imune sytem is weak you will be likely to catch a disese or flu.

I think exersice will keep us from getting the swine flu. We should be more active in p.e. to stay heathy.  Marissa

I think Victor is right People should gio for walks everyday or at least do some exercise for a while. People should if they have any play with there kids, or dogs and most important eat healthy. -Jose

For the swine flu or any flu i say people should wash there hands before they eat and wash them after you touch anything you know is dirty. Another thing people can do to stay healthy is when its cold wear a sweater and try to stay away from people who are sick and don't drink or touch anything they touch unless you wash your hands after. -Jose  

I agree with Victor and Jose. Exercise is the most important thing of everyday lives. Peolpe need to stay in shape and eat right. Water and vegetables are good for your body. -Lyeng

You need to wash your hands every time you eat. Don't share water with other people because you don't know if they have gems. -Lyeng

I agree with Victor because ther is a lot of "big" people now because os fast foods-robert        

I also agree with victor about the swine flu because I have an aunt that died of the swine flu thats how sirius it can be-robert
