From the School Nurse: Practice Healthy Habits to Avoid Illness.
- Hand Washing: Wash your hands many times during the day, taking 15-20 seconds with soap and water covering all surfaces.
- Contact: Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes. Viruses can enter your body this way. Do not share food, drink, make-up or personal items.
- Sleep: Most teens need 8 1/2 – 9 hours of sleep each night. Proper sleep habits help with test scores, athletic performances, and even mood, as well as, helping to ward off infections.
- Nutrition: Take time to eat three meals a day, as well as, healthy snacks in moderation. Eating healthy gives your immune system a boost to prevent illness.
- Exercise: Exercise can increase your energy levels and improve your mood. Exercise even decreases a person’s risk of developing some diseases. Get some exercise every day.
- Immunization: Consider a flu shot this year!

TAHS Sports Medicine - Athletic Trainer
Purpose:
- To assist the TA athletic sports by providing care for all of the athletes
- This includes prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehab of these athletes
- To provide observation of a Certified Athletic Trainer and the daily routine in the Athletic Training Room
Student athletic training aides volunteer hours working with various teams. They essentially become part of that team, attending all practices and games.
They help with the athletes' hydration and care. They earn a varsity letter at the end of each season. Anyone interested in becoming a student athletic training aide needs to see Heather Fincham in the athletic training room any day after school for an application.
The Sports Medicine Club meets during Period 8. The following students are this year's club officers:
- President -
