Cover coughs and sneezes
Avoid touching the face
Keep surfaces clean
Eat healthy foods
Stay active
Sleep
Stay home when sick
Ventilate indoor spaces

New Bike Parking Canopy
Ms. Mac won a Metro grant to support alternative transportation and was able to purchase a new bike shelter. A big thank you to the parents who helped construct it. We hope this encourages more students to ride or roll to school.
Winter Walk and Roll to School Day
Meet us at the back gym doors on the playground by 8am!
If you live too far to participate, please park and walk to school.
Bus riders can check in for an opportunity to participate as well.
If you do not have a bike lock, we can keep bikes in the courtyard.
OLDIES, BUT GOODIES!💾📼
⭐Here is where you will find items from past newsletters that are still somewhat current!⭐
We need your help with the lost and found. If you have 30 minutes a week to help tag items with a color-coded sticker and pull any items from the lost and found with names, this would be wonderful! Please click here to join the Lost and Found Committee. Many hands make light work!
Thank you - Ms. Karen & Ms. Madalyn.
