From the Office
Gym Door Drop-off Reminder
For the safety of all, please keep the following in mind when you drop your children off in the mornings at gym doors:
- The Assisted Drop-off Area, directly in front of the gym doors, is for children who need brief assistance getting out of their car from either the driver or teacher. If your child needs more time, please park in the lot and walk them inside.
- The Independent Drop-off Area is for children who do not need assistance getting out of the car. These cars should exit down the center aisle and should not be held up by cars in the Assisted Drop-off Area.
Please be mindful of other drivers in line, and drop your children off quickly and safely. Thank you.  |
At School
Annual Fruit and Veggie Challenge October 22 - 26
To participate in the fun, print out the challenge form so your child can keep track of the 5+ daily recommended servings they eat. Forms are due Monday, October 29 in the blue box in the main hall. The class that eats the most servings will win a special prize! Your child may also dress in the color of the day listed on the PTA Health and Wellness tab, which coordinates with the fruit and vegetable color being served. Students will be introduced to various fresh fruits and vegetables daily at lunchtime and will learn about the vitamins and nutrients that make these foods so healthy and important in their diets.
Contact: Victoria Robinson or Julie DesChamps with questions or to volunteer with food preparation or distribution.
