Family Service Night
First Notice
Join us: Tuesday April 24 from 6:30-8:00pm. Come for a free, fun and relaxed opportunity to connect with your kids while doing something to help someone else. You may stop at one or more stations to make something to be given to charity. Each station will have the supplies to make a simple project as well as "talking points"- guides to open a dialogue with your children. Spend a half hour or the whole evening enjoying the company of other families while making a difference in the lives of others. We will also be collecting personal care item donations for the STEP program in St Louis Park.
We still are in need of volunteers to make this unique event happen. Without additional volunteers we may have to scale back the activities offered. We are looking for volunteers to assist at the stations for a 1- hour shift, either 6:15-7:15pm or 7:15-8:15pm on Tuesday April 24. This gives you time to model volunteering and spend time with your family. If you are able to help, please contact one of the co-chairs listed below.
See you at Family Service Night! Any questions? Contact Katie Peterson, Peterson.katie@comcast.net, 952/915-9146 and Terri Webb, Terriwebb3@comcast.net, 952/922-1034

Health Office Highlights
Reminder: Getting enough sleep helps children perform their best at school. According to the National Sleep Foundation, school-aged children need 10-11 hours of sleep. If your child is waking at 7:00 am to get ready for school, this means that bedtime should be between 8:00 and 9:00 pm.
Tips for a Good Night's Sleep
1. Go to bed at the same time each night.
2. Set a bedtime routine.
3. Remove TV, computer games, and cell phones.
4. Avoid pop or other caffeinated drinks in the evening.
Communicable Illnesses: Reporting communicable illnesses to the health office helps us control the spread of illness. When your child is ill, please make sure that you leave information about the illness on the absence line or call the health office. The communicable illnesses reported to the health office for the week of April 9 are: Influenza: 2 cases
Help your child develop good health habits at home. Wash hands frequently, cover a cough, and do not share eating utensils, combs, or brushes.
