Coordinated School Health Health & Wellness Tip of the Month: Did you know that good sleep is the foundation of overall health and wellness? 😴💤When we get enough sleep, our bodies can recharge, our brains can rest, and we’re more energized for the day ahead. Whether you're a student, parent, or teacher, quality sleep can boost your mood, improve concentration, and strengthen your immune system. Remember, sleep is not a luxury – it’s a necessity! Let’s make it a priority and build strong health habits from the ground up. 🌱 #SleepWell #HealthyHabits #Wellness #CoordinatedSchoolHealth #SelfCare #GoodSleepGoodHealth
