Croton Harmon High School offered students and their families some guidance for starting the year off right during its Jan. 13 Wellness Night.
“We had two speakers, Dr. Kristy Vanacore and Health Coach Elissa Holzman,” said CHHS health teacher Kerri Tracy. “Dr. Vanacore spoke about the teenage brain and stress. Ms. Holzman gave a great talk on ‘The Not-So-Sweet Truth About Sugar.’”
