Winter is a tough time to keep kids healthy. But, nutritious foods are crucial during these cold months when their immune systems are most vulnerable.

Boost The Immune System

BrookWood

It’s Cold & Flu Season!

Help your child by packing plenty of Vitamin C into your child’s menu.

Clementines are a citrus fruit that is a hybrid between a tangerine and a sweet orange.

What makes clementines so special?

  • The winter fruit is packed with Vitamin C and Fiber.
  • They also contain magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
  • Clementines are small.
  • They’re perfect for snacking or packing in a lunch box.
  • At dinner time, toss small sections into a salad to add color and a bit of sweetness.

Don’t Forget Fiber

BrookWood

Kids tend to spend less time outside in the winter. It’s important to make sure that they are getting ample amounts of fiber.

Why is Fiber Important?

  • Fiber helps keep the digestive system on track as well as contributing to heart health and maintaining a good weight.

Consider adding winter squash to your menu. Skip the pasta and use spaghetti squash with your family’s favorite pasta sauce. Spaghetti squash is rich in fiber, vitamin A, and carotenoids. For a sweeter taste, consider roasting butternut squash and toss with cinnamon and maple syrup.

Another excellent source of fiber are sweet potatoes. These veggies are also packed with vitamin A and potassium. Instead of french fries, slice sweet potatoes into thin slices and toss with olive oil before roasting. Sweet potatoes can also be pureed and used as an ingredient when making brownies, oatmeal, or macaroni and cheese.

Keep Away The Winter Blues

BrookWood

It’s natural for kids to get a little down during winter. Reduced exposure to sunlight can cause a chemical imbalance in the brain. On cloudy days, our brain makes less serotonin.

Serotonin is a Mood-Lifting Chemical.

The amino acid, tryptophan, is key to making serotonin. Salmon and other animal proteins contain tryptophan.

Help motivate your children by inviting them to make kebabs with you. Cut up small amounts of salmon or another animal protein along with some vegetables.

Brookwood School District 167 relies on parent
feedback when planning for the future.

Dear Parents/Guardians/Families:

We highly encourage you to complete the 5 Essentials Survey for your child’s school. Your feedback matters. We use this feedback to develop school improvement plans and activities to make continuous improvement. The data needs to reflect the voices of our parents in order to address/validate school concerns or support for existing programs.

Your honest responses are confidential and needed to better inform our upcoming goals and strategies we will be implementing for the 2021-2022 school year.

Please share your input through the annual Illinois 5Essentials survey! The survey is administered by UCHICAGO Impact and is based on the Five Essentials for School Success, an evidence-based framework developed by the University of Chicago.

The 5Essentials Are:

⤷ Effective Leaders      ⤷ Collaborative Teachers       ⤷ Involved Families       ⤷ Supportive Environment      ⤷ Ambitious Instruction

Steps To Complete Survey:

The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete; 

⤷ Select the necessary language to complete the survey (English or Spanish);
⤷ Enter the name of your county and the name of your child’s school;
⤷ Advance to survey questions;
⤷ Answer all applicable questions;
⤷ Click Submit Survey

Each school needs a parent response rate of at least 20% to receive a results report. Please complete the survey no later than April 2, 2021.

Thank You For Your Participation!

Bethany A. Lindsay, Superintendent

Brookwood
