Be Safe Out There...

Tuba City Regional Health Care CorportationEnviornmental Health-Injury Prevention ProgramCommunity Health Division928-283-2844

Choose light color costumes & decorate costumes & bags with

reflective tape or stick-ers.

Masks can sometimes obstruct a child’s vision,

try non-toxic face paint & makeup whenever

possible.

Have Kids use glow sticks or flash-

lights to help them see & be seen at night.

Children under the age of 12 should have

adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out with-

out supervision, remind them to stay within familiar areas &

trick or treat in groups.

Popular trick-or-treat-ing hours are 5pm -9pm so be especially alert for kids during those hours.

When selecting a costume for a child, make sure it fits to

prevent trips and falls.

FoodCorps is an organization that connects kids to healthy food in school. I currently serve at Moencopi Day School where I help teach hands on lessons in gardening, nutrition, and cooking. My goal is for the students to taste fresh vegetables in the garden, learn recipes using those vegetables, and to be excited about sharing the information they learned with their families.

Fall is for Planting!

Hello my name is Curt Cebula, I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, and

began gardening when I was young. After graduating high school I joined the Marine Corps and served for �ve years. I got out of the Marine Corps in 2016 and began working on a

farm before joining FoodCorps.

fall is the time of the year to plant:

Cauliflower, lettuce, garlic, kale, leeks, chard, spinach,

radishes, carrots, beets, turnips, beans, cabbage, beans, onions,

peas

weather crops.

Summer plants such as; summer squash, tomatoes, beans, chilis, eggplant melons and corn. You can take the plants and turn them back into the soil to create nutrients for next years planting.

also its time to clean up those summerplants that have stop growing
