Welcome Back Loreauville-Week of August 18: Back-to-School Wellness

 A+ Health for the School Year & Easy-to-Pack Wellness Kit

As the new school year kicks off, it's the perfect time to get ahead of the curve when it comes to your family's health. A healthy start can make all the difference, from classroom focus to after-school activities.

Here are our top tips for a healthy back-to-school season:

  • Boost Their Immune System: A strong immune system is your best defense against those inevitable back-to-school bugs. We have a variety of vitamins and supplements, including Vitamin C, Zinc, and probiotics, that can help support your child's health.

  • Prioritize Sleep: Consistent sleep schedules are crucial for both physical and mental well-being. Encourage a wind-down routine and aim for 8-10 hours of sleep per night for teens and even more for younger children.

  • Healthy Snacks, Happy Kids: Pack nutritious snacks like fruit, nuts, and yogurt. They provide sustained energy and help keep kids focused throughout the school day.

  • Don't Forget Their Vaccines: The start of school is a great reminder to make sure your children are up-to-date on all their immunizations. Our pharmacy can help with various vaccines. Just give us a call!



Help your child be prepared for anything with a small, personal wellness kit in their backpack.

  • Hand Sanitizer: A travel-sized bottle is perfect for keeping germs at bay when soap and water aren't available.

  • Pain Reliever: A small pack of children's acetaminophen or ibuprofen is great for minor headaches or aches.

  • Band-Aids: A few assorted sizes for small cuts or scrapes.

  • Allergy Relief: If your child suffers from allergies, a dose of their regular antihistamine can be a lifesaver.

Come by Village Pharmacy to stock up on all your back-to-school essentials. We're here to help you and your family have a happy and healthy school year!
