Tomorrow is our last Tae Kwon Kids after-school program. Yesterday, the students involved, received a letter explaining the graduation taking place this Friday, March 23rd. The first session will be for those students with last names beginning in letters A-M from 5:00-6:00 p.m. The second session will be 6:30-7:30 p.m. for students with last names beginning with N-Z. The program will be held at the Martial Arts Training Center behind Friendly's.

Red is the color for our P.A.C.K. lunch program tomorrow. Pack your red fruit and veggies.

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 Gorant candy and Cookbook fundraiser is coming to a close. Please turn in all orders and payment by Friday, March 16th. We will not be able to accept orders after tomorrow morning to ensure the delivery before Spring Break. All orders will be available for pick-up on Monday, April 2nd. Thanks for supporting the fundraiser.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Hay's 3rd Grade will be selling popcorn for 50 cents a bag. This is part of an Economics Unit. The students completed a job application and were hired for certain positions. Some of the positions are advertisers, salespeople, accountants, and supervisors. Please help support their business, "Poland Poppers" and buy a bag of popcorn for 50 cents tomorrow. Thank you!

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.
