With school back in session you may feel it’s hard to focus on your work. Try this easy snack to boost your concentration! 

Water gives the brain the electrical energy for all brain functions, including thought and memory processes, and it has been proven to help you think faster, be more focused, and experience greater clarity and creativity. Try adding oranges, strawberries and/or lemons for flavoring and extra energy.

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:

For our Friday challenge Ms. Eliana at the Dr. Ledyard E. Ross Unit is doing volcanoes in the 360 Room!

Be sure to have a container underneath the cup to catch the “lava.”
