Dental Heath at Cowles
February is Dental Health Month! Nurse Ann will be visiting our Children's House and Lower Montessori students this month to focus on:
1. Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
2. Flossing regularly.
3. The importance of visiting your dentist routinely for a checkup and cleaning.
4. The importance of eating a well-balanced diet.
Nurse Ann will also be covering the 8 WONDERS of WELLNESS. These includes dental health and healthy eating as well as getting a good night's sleep, drinking water, getting exercise, taking a regular bath and a shower, the importance of handwashing, and reading because we all know that "reading to the mind is what exercise is to the body."
CMPG has graciously donated a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and stickers for each student to take home in a little bag, so a big "thank you" to them.
Thank you for supporting Nurse Ann, your school nurse, and your child's health. Healthy teeth are so important in helping children to grow, eat, play, and learn.
Calling All Artists and Performers!
What: Fine Arts Day
When: Friday, March 24th
Where: Cowles Montessori
Who: Our Cowles community and Visiting Artists
It has been three years since our last Fine Arts Day! We can’t wait to bring visiting artists back into the school to share a day with our students.
Our Fine Arts Day is the focus for the entire school day. Each artist will lead either three forty minute workshops in the morning, three forty minute workshops in the afternoon or spend all day with us and lead six workshops total. The artist will have one class per workshop. We welcome over 25 different artists into our school on this day. Our artists include a wide variety of fine arts, including dance, drawing, musicians and many that are hard to put into a category. It is a great day, and we hope you are willing to present your talents that day.
