Congrats to Wellness Student Spotlight Thomas Creavin!

The Wellness Department is pleased to announce that Thomas Creavin has been named Wellness Student Spotlight! Thomas is a polite and kind student who always works hard and is a pleasure to have in class. Congratulations to Thomas!



1.    First and Last Name Thomas Creavin
2.    Grade 8
3.    What elementary school did you come from. Claypit Hill
4.    Tell us about yourself. What do you like to do in your free time? I play my clarinet and pet my guinea pig. Also, I play soccer.
5.    Why is being active important to you? I think it is important to be active because if you don't stay active, how are you going to stay awake for your classes? Being active is like coffee except it's something your body gives you. (And it's free.)
6.    What advice would you give to a student who doesn’t like to exercise? "how do you want yourself to look in 40 years?" Do you want people to say to you, "Wow! You're fit!" or "Wow. You've really... let yourself go..."
7.    Favorite Wellness unit and why. Rollerblading was hands down my favorite unit. Though I only got to be in it for one class, (I missed 6 weeks due to injury) it was awesome and a unit I loved.
8.    When I want a healthy snack I reach for...Popchips and cheddar cheese.
9.    To relax I...play my clarinet and sleep if clarinet playing is not an option.
10. If I were a WMS Wellness teacher I would add running to the curriculum. Running is my jam, and I was so sad when I realized that it wasn't a unit. I know we do the Pacer and some things, but for me it would be great if we had a unit devoted to running.
11. On my first day of school I wish I knew...dance was a unit. I would have had more time to mentally prepare myself for the hardships of this unit. I'm not saying it was an awful unit, I bet lots of people love dancing, it's just that, dancing isn't my thing.
Ms. Riddle says this is not the Zumba unit FYI :-)
12.          Tell us something about yourself most people would be surprised to know.     I have a guinea pig named Theo.
