Do you know of a student who is graduating this year from Konawaena

If so, Honaunau Elementary will be awarding 2- $500 scholarship that can
be applied to their college tuition! Are you interested?
$1000 has been donated by the Upchurch family for a scholarship in
memory of Janexty Ka'aloa.
Please come to our SCC Meeting on Wednesday, December 14 at 4:15pm

We would like to send a "shout out" to the HI Island Food

organization. 1 bag per Ohana is being sent home today.

During the holiday season, Americans gain about an average of one to two pounds. While this weight gain isnt dramatic, research shows it tends to
stay and accumulate over the years. To help us avoid this, being aware of why we are eating, what we are eating, and what is happening around us
while we eat may help. Mindful eating is all about helping us understand our eating habits and creating a positive relationship with food. We should
base our meals on physical cues, such as our bodys hunger signals instead of emotional ones like eating for comfort. Mindful eating is more about
how we eat instead of what we eat. Studies have shown that being mindful of what we eat benefits those with cardiovascular disease, depression,
chronic pain, and cancer.

How to become more mindful as you eat:

Eat slower. Take the time to enjoy your food. This will help you realize when you are full and prevent overeating.

Pay attention to the color, smell, flavors, and textures of your food.

Express your feelings when eating.

Take away distractions like television or talking on the phone while you eat.
Remember to make sure you dont skip meals during the holidays. Many prepare for the BIG dinner by thinking that if they skip meals earlier in the
day, this will allow them to eat more later. This is setting us up to over eat. Most of us see all the delicious food on the table and want to consume
more than what will make us satisfied. Therefore, continue with your daily eating routine during the holidays and listen to your body so you stop
eating when you feel satisfied.
