Summer is a family time full of travel and adventure. However, it can also mean at time of too much “vacation eating”. Of course that sounds great in the short run, but in the long run it can lead to summer colds and weight gain. So how can we keep our families feeling tip top this summer?
Well, to start with it is important to recognize that eating healthy keeps us feeling good and helps us to maintain a healthy weight. Healthy eating includes eliminating as much junk food, fast food and processed food as possible since these foods weaken our immune system.

Mulch is a wonderful addition to any landscape. A mulch layer around trees and shrubs provides many benefits.
♦ Helps maintain soil moisture. Mulch slows evaporation and reduces the amount of water that is needed by the plants.
♦ Inhibits weeds. It is almost impossible to keep weeds out of bedding areas without some type of mulch covering.
♦ Helps maintain soil temperature. Mulch keeps the plants’ roots warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
♦ Adds Beauty. Mulch gives planting beds a neat and uniform appearance. Its color and textures compliments the plants and the house.
♦ Reduces soil erosion. Water running off the house or from adjacent areas can create a lot of soil erosion. Mulch will decrease the amount of soil lost.
♦ Improves the soil. Any organic mulch will decompose over time. This will increase the soil’s fertility and improve the soil’s texture and drainage.
♦ Provides protection. Having a layer of mulch around plants and trees will protect them from lawnmowers and string trimmers.

When Mrs. Jarrell, the new Principal at A-rated Wards Creek Elementary School in World Golf Village, agreed to create a video tour of the school, it was no surprise she wanted the spotlight to be on the award-winning St. Augustine school and not on herself. The more time we spent with Mrs. Jarrell, the more we came to see why she was the perfect person to continue Don Campbell’s legacy. She invited us on a private tour of the school, while the children were off having fun for Spring Break!
Wards Creek Elementary School is a top performing school in St. Johns County, which is the top performing school district in the state of Florida. Mrs. Jarrell explains their success is built on strong academics and strong character. The pre-kindergarten through 5th grade elementary school has embraced Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” becoming a Franklin Covey “Leader in Me” School and helping students develop essential life skills and character. Wards Creek Elementary School is working towards Lighthouse Status – there are only 24 Lighthouse Schools in the nation.
