SEYMOUR = On April 6, 2016, eight students from Seymour High School will visit Derby High school with their physical education and health teacher, Nick Aprea, to team up with eight students from DHS and their teacher, Eric O’Toole.
During the day the students will develop, perform,
and film 3-5 minute videos that teachers in Ansonia, Derby, Emmett O’Brien
Technical School, Oxford, Seymour and Shelton can use periodically in their
classrooms to increase energy levels, attentiveness and work output. It is their hope to promote activity as well
as provide academic benefits.
This group in partnership with VITAHLS (Valley
Initiative to Advance Health and Learning in Schools) brings together Griffin
Hospital, The Yale Griffin Prevention Research Center, and area schools. One of the main goals of VITAHLS is to reduce
the prevalence of childhood obesity.
Throughout the day students will be treated to a visit
from Dr. Jean Mee, CT State Department of Education consultant for Health and
Physical Education.
