Jackets

Hey everybody!! Here lately the weather has been really nice. As we get closer to winter, it's going to be getting colder outside. Parents please remember to send a jacket to school with your child even if they do not wear one in the morning. We will be outside for CATCH PE until the weather changes and they may be a little chilly at first. As long as it is around 50 degrees, we will be outside due to the gym being used by Mr. Huffman's classes. When it gets colder, Mr. Huffman and I will share the gym. Please write your child's name in their jacket. When they start getting hot they remove them and sometimes forget them outside. When they don't have names in them they go directly to lost and found where more than half of the jackets are never claimed. If the name is in the jacket we can get it back to its' rightful owner.

Sugary Drinks

The Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has released a study that evaluates sugary drink nutrition and marketing to youth. Check out what they found!
