Dear Parents and Guardians,
It was wonderful to see so many parents here for parent teacher conferences! The school and home partnership is so important to student success. We also understand that there may have been circumstances keeping you from being able to join.
Don’t forget, there is no school on Friday the 13th or Monday the 16th. Enjoy the long weekend and please see below message from Mrs. Apple:
The Challenge is On! The Healthy Kids 5210+ Challenge is a FREE month-long program, held in February, where students, school staff and families learn and practice the 5210+ healthy habits. The goal is to get 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, 2 hours or less of recreational screen time,1 hour or more of physical activity, 0 sugary drinks and 9 or more hours of sleep EVERY DAY! Your student(s) will be bringing home a tracking log to keep track of their healthy habits throughout the month of February. Students that complete 80 checkmarks on their log will earn a FREE t-shirt. All students and staff that participate can help our school earn money for PE equipment and school wellness initiatives.
