Rules of the Road — because being a safe walker and rider is a lifelong skill! 🚦🚲

In MORE HEALTH’s 4th-grade “Rules of the Road” lesson, students put their knowledge to the test in a fun game of Street Smarts Jeopardy. They learn the real rules for walking and biking safely, talk about common distractions that put them in danger, and dig into why helmets matter (and the excuses that don’t).

Most importantly, they discover how to be role models for younger kids and their friends.

Protecting your brain with a properly fitted helmet isn’t just a rule — it’s one of the smartest choices you can make every time you ride.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, the Tampa General Hospital Foundation and Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, for helping us bring these free, interactive safety lessons to students across Tampa Bay!

Trauma Is No Accident.

MORE HEALTH’s high school lesson (sponsored by TGH Muma Children’s Hospital) shows teens how one choice can lead to serious injury—and how they can choose differently. Students learn the real risks of alcohol when operating cars, e-bikes, scooters, and other devices.

When kids understand these dangers, they’re more likely to:
✅ Wear a helmet
✅ Stay focused
✅ Ride at a safe speed
✅ Never drink and ride or drive
✅ Look out for themselves and others

These lessons help students make smarter decisions every time they hop on a device.

Trauma Is No Accident — and that message matters more than ever with the rise of micro-mobility.

In MORE HEALTH’s High School Trauma Education lesson “Trauma Is No Accident,” sponsored by TGH Muma Children’s Hospital, 9th–12th graders learn that many serious injuries are preventable. Through interactive activities, real stories, and simulations, students see how distractions (phones, music, friends, food), not wearing a seatbelt, and impaired driving can lead to brain and spinal cord injuries—and what recovery really looks like.

The same principles apply to the growing world of micro-mobility.
E-bikes, e-scooters, and similar devices are popular with teens, but they bring real risks:

⚠️ Higher speeds and less protection than traditional bikes
⚠️ Lower helmet use in many cases
⚠️ Distractions while riding
⚠️ Conflicts with cars, pedestrians, and other riders

These can result in the exact kinds of traumatic brain and spinal injuries the lesson highlights. Data from recent years show rising injury numbers involving micromobility devices, with head injuries being especially common.
Simple steps that align with the lesson’s message:

✅ Always wear a properly fitted helmet (and consider additional protective gear).
✅ Stay focused—no phones or earbuds that block traffic sounds.
✅ Follow traffic rules, yield when required, and ride at a safe speed.
✅ Be highly visible (lights, bright clothing).
✅ Treat the device with the same respect you would a car or motorcycle.

Empowering students with this knowledge helps them make safer choices on the road—whether they’re in a car or on a scooter.

Tampa Bay is seeing an unusual dengue outbreak and your friends at More Health want you to stay safe. Hillsborough County has most of Florida’s locally acquired cases this year and is under a mosquito-borne illness alert.
Dengue spreads by mosquito bite — not person to person.
This week:

🦟 SPRAY repellent

👕 COVER skin

💧 DRAIN standing water

Walk your yard. Dump water from buckets, toys, gutters, pet dishes, tires, and pool covers. A bottle cap of water is enough for mosquitoes to breed.
Fever, body aches, headache, nausea? Get care and mention mosquito exposure.
