Welcome to Mrs. Hefty's website!!
Welcome to Health Class!! The Health program's foundation is based from the HEALTH Smart series for the middle grades. The topics discussed will be aligned with the New Jersey state core curriculum standards. My goal is to help students learn to make wise choices, which they may face during adolescence and beyond. Students will gain information on current health/safety issues, facts, ideas, and opinions. Through group and individual activities, students will use their knowledge and their decision-making skills to help plan their health behaviors in various health/safety issues.
