SPX 4th Grade Girl Scouts
By Madison Griffin, Gr. 4
The fourth grade Girl Scout troop had a special visitor for their Girl Scout meeting this week. Michelle Rowe, a local nurse and health educator, explained the new My Plate guidelines and portion sizes. Together the troop made parfaits with yogurt, fruits, and granola. The theme of the meeting was to teach the troop about healthy food choices, to show how much they should eat of the foods that they choose, and to get started on earning their Simple Meals badge. The girls, the troop leaders and several parents were able to ask Michelle questions about various topics, and learned a lot. Michelle ended the meeting by challenging the troop to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Everyone should try to do the same challenge.

SPX "Stocker" Team Off to a Great Start
Every year our St. Pius X sixth graders put their heads together, come up with a name for their team, pick their favorite stocks and enter the Toledo Blade's Stock Contest.
The teams choose their favorite '4' stocks worth at least $5 a share for their portfolio. Each team then begins the contest with a hypothetical $40,000 worth of stocks in their portfolios. At the end of the 12-week contest, the team with the most money in their portfolio is the winner.
After 1 week, the 6th grade "Stocker" team is in 3rd place out of 153 teams with a portfolio worth $41,881.74. Check here weekly to watch their progress. Go St. Pius!
