Ronald Nichols

Profile:

My name is Ron Nichols and I am a Wellness Educator at Deer Lakes Middle School.  I have taught at Deer Lakes since 2008.  Prior to Deer Lakes, I taught at different campuses of Penn State University.

Assignments:

Our class focuses on being WELL and understanding WHY it's important to be WELL.  Our curriculum consists of four main pillars: physical, social/emotional, nutrition, and understanding the human body.  Curtisville Wellness Education will consist of classroom discussions on these four components while also applying these components in practical age-appropriate activities.
