This only pertains to weather closures or delays, not to days when the schools were previously scheduled to be closed.

WEIGHT WISE PLUS

8 week program
Lead by Barbara Myers

Overweight, Underweight
or Just About In Between?

Weight Wise is expanding to include all nutrition information that every senior should know to live a healthy life. Recent research work that shows us what we should be eating or not eating will be included in every class. Topics such as the mediterranean diet (what’s great about it and what’s not), foods that cause inflammation and those that prevent it, bone and cardiac health and so on will be discussed.

Those of you who are interested in losing or gaining weight will be able to be weighed privately and we will devote the last part of every class to weight control.

Please sign up so we can ensure enough program materials for everyone. I am looking forward to meeting you at our first class.
