Every year, Woodlawn has what they call shirt off my back night. Senior Football players picks a taecher that influenced them throughout High school.

 Here is what Mason Corder had to say about his Teacher Ms. Rachel Morten. Ms. Morton is one of the best Teachers I've had in high school. I always look forward to going to her class because i know that i'm going to learn something and laugh while doing it. Ms. Morton has taught me everything i know about drama, even though i've only been in her class for a year and a half.

First Aid Lemonaid also Recogonized Ms. Morton and awarded her a gift card to Ruth Chris Steak House for her being selected  in Shirt off my Back.

Congradulations Ms. Morton

If you’re thirsty, common sense tells you to get a drink. But did you know that dehydration has already begun to set in by the time your brain sends the signal that you need a drink. That’s why it’s important to get your fill of clear liquids (preferably water) prior to physical activity. It’s also critical to overall good health to drink water regularly throughout the day, even when it’s not hot outside. Causes of dehydration go beyond hot-weather activity. Make drinking water a part of your daily routine can decrease your risk for dehydration – a serious condition that can turn deadly. Adults lose more than 10 cups of water in a given day, just by taking part in everyday activities, according to MayoClinic.com. Fail to replace that water, and your health is at stake.


What Does Water Do?
Aside from the hydration necessary for our bodies to sustain life, water also provides a vehicle for other nutrients called electrolytes. Electrolytes include minerals such as sodium, potassium and calcium. Water helps disseminate these minerals throughout the body and into blood, tissue and organs. It is necessary for lubricating joints. It is a huge part of blood and digestive liquids, and helps transport nutrients, and get rid of waste. Your body is made up of 70 percent water, and needs about a dozen 8-ounce glasses of water a day to keep up.
Lemonade is also a good source of liquids to help you from dehydrating. it also helps to flush the kidneys to avoid Kidney stones.


About Dehydration
Sickness, diarrhea and vomiting can all contribute to dehydration. Diarrhea can be particularly dangerous, resulting in a rapid loss of water and electrolytes. A fever will also deplete the body of necessary fluids. As the body heats up, it uses its own water supply to cool down, resulting in the loss of water. Illness is a common precursor to dehydration.
