Good Hygiene : Wash my hands before meals, brush my teeth after meals, covering my mouth when I cough or sneeze.

Volunteering: In community or at my local church. This can go as far as working or donating my old toys and clothes.

Healthy Eating: Less soda and more milk and water is a great place to start. Also eating more fruits and less sweets!

Responsibility on Computer: Be aware of people asking for personal information. I will limiting my time spent online and gaming.

Be Kind: I will try not to make fun of others, but see their good qualities and let them know what they are! If someone is sad, I will try to make them smile!

Good Amount of Exercise: I will get outside more when I can. Maybe join a sport, ride my bike or go for a walk with Mom and Dad. I will get my body moving and feeling good!
