Description:	in livHealth is an important class that teaches students values they will use throughout their livesImagine someone unconscious on theground, unable to breathe. Without quickand correct action, tragedy could strike.Thankfully, the skills to save someone inthat situation are taught in health class atBloomington High School South. Healthteaches students a myraid of usefulinformation they need to have in thefuture: CPR, nutritional health, andphysical fitness planning are amongthem.South health students were CPRtrained by the time they leave the class.Sophomore Charles Wagner stressedthe importance of CPR. Its a life skill,Wagner said. It makes it so if someoneis choking or their heart stops you canhelp them. Its not just something youuse once in class.Nutritional health was also part ofthe curriculum. Students, not alwaysattentive to food choice and nutritional56 ACADEMICSvalue, learned what to consider beforereaching for the closest snack.Sophomore Alec Fumurescu said thatthe class made [him] more aware ofwhats healthy food and whats unhealthyfood, and that spurred [him] to eat morehealthy food when [he] can.Another helpful activity in healthclass was the FITT (frequency, intensity,time, type) program. This programallowed students to keep track of whatkind of physical fitness they do and whenand where to do it. Sophomore KaitlinnClark did not mind the FITT program.[It was] a good reminder of what fitnessplans to follow, Clark said. Its nice tohave something there to look at andfollow rather than not having anything.Students often complain that theywill not use the knowledge learned intheir classes. It is safe to say that healthclass is omitted from that list.-CALEB NORIEGAystandOUTWhat do you do to excel in HonorsGeometry?/ make sure to study mydefinitions and write downtheorems and postulates.-freshman Alexander Brackeef / tried to do all the proofsand memorize them beforethe test.}}-freshman Zoe Berenszteinm
