Please be sure that your child wears a coat, hat, and gloves when the weather is cold. We want to be sure that students are prepared when waiting outside and during their recess. We will go outside to play if the temp and/or wind chill is above 32 degrees. If a child forgets their coat they may borrow one from the lost and found. Thank you for your help!! Healthy Schools
Our school was recently awarded the distinction of a basic healthy school. The next two levels are merit and excellence. We are working toward becoming a school of excellence. In order to do so we need your help J Please send and/or encourage your child to bring a healthy snack each day. We have many students that bring chips as well as many other unhealthy choices. This quick break is meant to give students a chance to refuel and recharge. Healthy snacks are the best way to recharge. Staying hydrated through the day helps our brains to stay focused and able to learn. Please feel free to send water daily in a clear, no spill container with your child.
Healthy Snack Options Fruits apple slices, bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe cubes, cherries, clementines, grapes, sliced kiwis, orange wedges, pomegranate seeds, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon cubes Vegetables baby carrots, cucumber slices, grape tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, sugar snap peas
