We hope you all enjoyed the holiday season and are ready for an exciting new year with 1Seven. 1Seven is all about healthy growth and development, so keep an eye out for changes on the site throughout 2010. Having received your feedback and suggestions, we will be updating and creating new Curriculum Lessons, expanding our article library and developing other projects to help you help your students live healthier, more active lives.
