Today was day #1 of our P.A.C.K. program in the cafeteria. This is a program to encourage students to eat more fruits and vegetables. All students who ate a fruit or vegetable that was blue or purple entered their name in a drawing. Four lucky winners won a poster. Each day there is a different color assigned. The students have to eat at least half of the fruit or vegetable to enter the daily poster drawing. At the end of the week, there will be 1 Grand Prize Winner. The winner will receive a gift card to Edible Arrangements and a Family Pass to the YMCA. Tomorrow's colors are white, tan, or brown.

A BIG thank you to Dr. Logan and his wife for visiting our school today. The Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades all enjoyed a lesson on keeping their teeth healthy. Dr. Logan taught them how to brush correctly so that all plaque is removed. He also talked about healthy food and snack choices to keep their smiles perfect. We appreciate them taking time to visit us.

Our first Tae Kwon Kids program was a success. The students learned front kicks, self defense, and respect. It was nice to hear the large group of students in unison saying "Yes sir" to Mr. Ritchie. Our next session will be Wednesday after school where the focus will be on cooperation. A big thanks to Miss Kathy and Mr. Ritchie for donating their time.

During lunch next week, the students have a chance to guess some favorite things of our staff. The staff answered questions about favorite color, vacation, subject, etc. The guessing will take place in our main hallway. A $1.00 donation for Relay for Life is asked to participate. The top guesser in every grade will receive a prize. Good luck.

The rain today has forced us to have indoor recess. Kindergarten and 1st grade enjoyed working in small groups in their rooms. The 2nd and 3rd grades were challenged with putting together a United States floor puzzle. Our 4th grade participated in our school's Bulldog Fitness Trail. We kept busy as we watched the raindrops fall, hoping tomorrow will bring the sunshine back.
