Centralia Community Benevolent Association Food Pantry Drive

NHCS

March Madness-Food Drive Style

New Horizon Christian School will be participating in a food drive during the month of March that will benefit the CCBA Food Pantry. Each school day this month will have an assigned food item that students can bring. This will be set up like the NCAA basketball bracket. Students in 3rd through 8th grade will fill out their own individual brackets. Kindergarten through 2nd grades will fill out the bracket as a class. They will need to guess the amount of each item they think will be brought in each day. For example, the first match up will be boxes of cereal vs peanut butter. Students will guess how many cereal boxes and peanut butter jars they think will be collected. If students guessed that there would be 60 boxes of cereal brought in and 45 jars of peanut butter brought in, Cereal boxes would advance to the next round. Students would need to be mindful of what peanut butter could be matched up with later in the month as to how many total items could be brought in.

Each day we will tally up totals and post in the hallway for everyone to see. Students will update their brackets daily. This is all for fun and a way to get our school families motivated to help out a wonderful ministry in our community. However, there will be a K-2 competition and a 3rd-8th competition.

K-2 Competition: The class that guesses the winner and/or the closest accurate bracket will win an ice cream party.

3rd-8th Competition: The individual who guesses the winner and/or the closest accurate bracket will win an ice cream party for their class.

Here is a list of foods to be brought in and on what days:

Monday, March 4th-box of cereal

Tuesday, March 5th-peanut butter

Wednesday, March 6th-stuffing mix

Thursday, March 7th-boxed potatoes

Can you bring them in later? Sure, it just will not be included in the contest the students are doing but will still benefit the food pantry.

Please help if you can and if you can't, that is okay too!

Please be sure to call in your child or email Ms. Alex if they are absent for any reason. Her email address is alex@nhcscrusaders.org.

Any 6th-8th Grader is able to participate in running club at lunch. We will run during their lunch time and eat during their recess time. We will run for about 15-20 minutes. I ask the students don't bring things that need to be heated up on these days.

**Running Club will be added for 4th-5th graders this week. Permission slips will be sent home tomorrow. Running Club takes place on Tuesday and Thursday for this group.

Running club will take place the next 3 weeks on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as long as the weather allows. We will not run in the rain or cold weather since the students will head back to class after their run. Students will have 3 minutes to get ready.

A permission slip needs to be signed.

We will have outdoor recess as long as the real feel temperature is above 40 degrees. Please send your child with a coat and anything else they may need to stay warm.

Spring Pictures will be on Thursday, March 28th. More information coming soon!

Spring Break will be from March 29th-April 7th.

NHCS will have an e-learning day on Monday, April 8th due to the solar eclipse. There are many uncertainties with solar eclipse such as traffic and students keeping their glasses on. Student safety is our top priority.

We will be sending home solar eclipse glasses that were donated to us. You and your family can use these if you choose to do so.
