MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Would you like some help cleaning out your closets/garage? The Make a Difference committee will be collecting donations of sporting equipment for our sister school, Winton Hills Academy, the week of November 6th. They are primarily looking for tennis, basketball, and soccer equipment since students are learning about those sports right now. If you have any items to donate please leave them in the Make a Difference box

that will be located under the stairs by the pig.

Thank you in advance for your generosity! Questions? Contact Carly Lawless

Did you Know?!? The neuroscience of singing shows that when we sing our neurotransmitters connect in new and different ways. It fires up the right temporal lobe of our brain, releasing endorphins that make us smarter, healthier, happier and more creative. When we sing with other people this effect is amplified. -Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing with Others (Horn)
