Health Tip of the Week
It can be easy to become overwhelmed with all the health advice out there. Whether it’s changing your diet, exercising more, drinking more water, being more active, or any other advice, the list may seem impossible to achieve and makes many people unable to even start. The good news is you don’t have to change everything all at once! It’s advisable for many of us to just make one small change and do that one thing well. Then, once we feel more confident with that change, we can add another. Check out the article below to see 31 ways you can make a change to improve your health. Make a goal and keep track of your progress. Making one change a month will give you a completely new way of life in two years! Remember it's not a race and the best way to achieve great health is consistency. The more you practice, the better you become!

ThoughtExchange and GCPS
Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has partnered with ThoughtExchange to gather feedback from students, families, staff, and community members. ThoughtExchange will allow participants to share their thoughts and ideas and/or indicate their level of satisfaction with specific educational programs and initiatives found in our schools and district.
How does it work?
- GCPS poses a broad question and invites people to respond.
- Participants share thoughts anonymously with others participating in the exchange.
- Using a 1-5 scale, participants rate their agreement with different thoughts.
- GCPS analyzes data from the exchange and uses this input for decision-making.
Data, insights, and feedback gathered through ThoughtExchange will help the district gain a better understanding of what students, families, staff, and community members think about key issues, initiatives, and topics.
For more on ThoughtExchange and how it works, watch this brief video.
