LAWRENCE CO. – Bedford North Lawrence Schools will be operating on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, January 16, due to the anticipated extremely cold temperature.
Here are a few helpful tips and reminders to prepare your children before they stand at the bus stop or head to school. A healthy and balanced breakfast will give your children’s body a dose of calcium, iron, protein, fiber, and B vitamins. Your children will feel the cold more if they are hungry or not getting enough food, so eating breakfast before entering the cold winter weather is even more important.
Sticking to a healthy diet won’t prevent your children from picking up winter illnesses, but it can help maintain your immune system to protect your children better. A nutritious diet can help speed up your recovery if your child should fall ill.
Dressing warmly helps regulate the body temperature. Be sure to dress your children in layers. In addition to layering, the head, hands, and feet must be protected from the damp and cold. Head. The head and neck lose heat faster than any other body part. Covering the head is critical; unlike the hands and feet, the blood supply does not become constricted in the cold.
