Final Week! The Sizzlin’ Summer Challenge has one more task for you: add a healthy food to your back-to-school days. Now is the time to create a routine that bolsters you all year. Add a smoothie, a healthy muffin, some veggies, nuts, yogurt, organic eggs or whole grain cereal (see links below and a recipe […]

Start your day in a new healthy way? Well, we could start this blog entry simply by hoisting the following Latin cliche: Carpe Diem. And leave it there. But of course, there’s so much behind that!

Enjoy the Moment! As August creeps along, we realize, in the blink of an eye we’ll be back at school and going strong. Part of our goal for the rest of summer is to get you ready for the onslaught of “back to school”, to ease you in and help you turn the corner with […]

“I could never do that!” Do what? Walk the streets of Paris on Bastille Day, climb up to the bells of Notre Dame, or watch fireworks over the Eiffel Tower.

We thought we’d take this opportunity to play off the idea […]

As you ease back into the full steam of the school year, keep your summer in your sights, hanging on to the joys you gained while challenging yourself and your loved ones to do healthy activities. Think of all you were able to accomplish so […]

An occasional stormy day can be a bear at times, indeed, but PATH people are fond of saying (and forgive the sentence structure), “There is no bad weather, […]

Welcome to Week 5 of the Summer Challenge! We don’t often ask school employees to volunteer because our Healthy Life Survey states at least half of you are already doing something for your community. Further, research states that over half of you have second and even third jobs in addition to what you do for […]
