Host Families NEEDED!!!!!
 We've had Rally Week and Now We Need Families.
- Sign Up Deadline - Monday, February 24th is just around the corner.
- We still need 43 families to host next year.
- We only have 12 host families signed up.
- Invitations will only go out to the number of interns we can house.
- We currently can invite 5 interns for next year.
- That's not even one per grade level.
Consider whether you can welcome an intern into your home. Host families provide room and board for half the school year and must have a legal bedroom with an egress window.

Lunch Bunch!
| |
"Lunch Bunch" A casual way to interact with peers for grades 1-5
I would like to offer students a chance to increase their socialization with other children in a casual, informal manner during their lunch/recess period. I have found that lunch/recess can sometimes be a stressful time for students because they may be going through a lull with some of their friends or don't exactly know how to connect with others.
My office is a cozy place for students to eat lunch, have some conversation, and relax. Social skills can be increased just by the opportunity to have shared time with others; some direct instruction by me may take place but the emphasis would be on students having fun and getting to know others. There would be no academic time lost.
If you are interested please contact me by phone or email,
Sandi Stein, MSW, LGSW School Social Worker Normandale Elementary Edina Schools 952 848-4108
