Ben Minturn - Health

Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed watching a portion of your health class today.  It was nice to see students presenting to others and then discussing important lifelong habits to think about.  Students were respectful and many different students volunteered to participate in discussion.  It looks like things are going well with positive routines place!
