Dear Families,

The December 2024 edition of the Healthy Kids Connection is now available on the Healthy Kids website -- healthykidsclub.org

This edition contains resources and information about how you can help your family get started on creating and sustaining the 5210+ healthy habits before the 20th annual Healthy Kids 5210+ Challenge in February 2025. It also highlights all of the FREE school wellness programs offered by Healthy Hearts and Minds.

Kindergarten registration for the 2025/2026 school year is now open! You can begin registration at: https://www.tsd.org/enrollment/registration/student-registration

Yearbooks are now available for purchase! They are currently available at $24 each. Prices go up to $30 each after December 31st. Go to https://ybpay.lifetouch.com/ and use code 14930925 to purchase a yearbook for the 2024/2025 school year. We will have a very limited number available for purchase in the office at the end of the year but those numbers are limited and the price will increase. Yearbooks will be delivered the last week of the school year.

As many of you have noticed, our new nutritional services program has menus that have a lot more detail, but are not user friendly. You can view the online menu here. Just be sure to change the school to "Ponderosa" and that you are on the "lunch" option, NOT the "ECD lunch"
