Tiger Tale

A special thank you to Weideman Pediatric Dentistry for providing an informative and delightful visit for our TK & Kindergarten students. The tooth fairy spoke to students about taking care of their teeth, flossing and sugar bugs! Each student was provided with a goodie bag which included a new tooth brush.

In February and March our students in grades 5-6 will participate in the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The FITNESSGRAM is the required annual PFT for students in grades five, seven, and nine in California public schools. (6th and 8th grade students are tested each year to support improvement and transition for the next year.) This health-related fitness test, developed by The Cooper Institute, is intended to help students acquire lasting habits of regular physical activity.

The FITNESSGRAM includes tests for five areas of fitness: Aerobic Capacity, Abdominal Strength and Endurance, Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility, Upper Body Strength and Endurance, and Flexibility.

On February 7th, all fifth and sixth grade students received a 2-page informational packet on the test. Additional copies will be in the hanging folder inside the office.

Welcome to the 44th annual Fair Oaks Chicken Run, supporting the San Juan Education Foundation! Choose the challenge of the 5-mile Chicken Run, or the non-competitive 2-mile Rooster Ramble run/walk. Plus, the Fair Oaks Chicken will lead the Chicken Chase Kids Race for children 12 & under - the best kids’ race around!

The San Juan Education Foundation harnesses the combined power of philanthropy and partnership to propel student achievement and enrich the lives of educators in support of their vision of a San Juan Unified School District where funding is not a barrier to equitable opportunity and access.
