Welcome to the RMT Health Page Words to Ponder: Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity - John Kennedy Students will have 6 weeks of Health in both 7th and 8th grades as a pull-out from their regular Physical Education Classes. The Health curriculum incorporates a Family Life component which is a comprehensive abstinence based curriculum. Parents and Guardians may view the curriculum from this web site. The 7th grade program consists of the following topics: goal setting; responsible decision making; nutrition/healthy eating choices; parenting skills and baby-sitting safety; puberty; reproduction and pregnancy; HIV/AIDS; marijuana/smoking facts; impact of drugs and inhalants on the body. The 8th grade program consists of the following topics: family communication; signs of mental illness and depression; review of human reproduction; birth of a baby; responsible decision making; challenges of teen parenthood; abstinence; diseases and vaccinations; drugs; and addiction. Health Objective: All students will develop and use personal and interpersonal skills to support a healthy and active lifestyle. Students will "estimate the consequences" of their actions.
