Dear Parent/Guardian or Student,

My name is Steven Mercer and I will be your childs Health Education teacher. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you my philosophy of Health. I would also like to share my Mission Statement that will serve as a guide on the journey through the health curriculum.

Patience, flexibility and sincerity are just a few of the values that I do my best to model for the students in my classroom. It is my personal goal to know each and every student in our school. Every student must know that they have at least one adult in the building who cares about them and would help them at any time.

The philosophy that I base all of my lessons on is focused upon the difference between being informed and being educated. The informed person hears the health related information and chooses to ignore it or to postpone it’s use. The educated person will take the health related information and apply it directly to their lives resulting in a higher quality of life.

My mission is to help the students to understand the concept that the choices that we make eventually make us. As a result of this mission I hope to have your child, and others, leave my classroom as an educated person.

Your son or daughter will have the opportunity to be educated in the following health related subjects: Stress Management, Safety and Decision Making,Teen Nutrition, History of Disease, Fitness for Life, Whole Person Pie, Consumer Health, Substance Abuse Prevention/Addiction and Human Sexuality.

I look forward to getting to know your child as they journey through their Middle School years. I encourage you to contact me at anytime to discuss curriculum or personal challenges that your child may be facing.

Together we can make the Middle School years a positive experience for you and your child.

Sincerely,

Steven A. Mercer
