North Junior High Announcements Wednesday October 8, 2014 Healthy Communities Study: Hey Vikings! North is lucky! We were picked to be in the Healthy Communities Study! Do you want to help our community? Do you want to help our country? Talk to your parents about being in the Healthy Communities Study! Survey envelopes were handed out to students in PE or Health this semester. If you are in the study, they will ask you about what you eat and the physical activities you do. They will also measure your height and weight. Your family will get gifts to thank you for being in the study. Please take the form home with you and ask your parents to fill it out and sign it. Don’t forget to turn in your signed Study Interest Form to your teacher by 10/17! When you turn in your signed form you will receive a small gift from the study, whether your family wants to be in the study or not! Spirit Day: Hey Vikings!
