It’s time to wrap up the holidays and welcome everyone back to school for the new year! We are kicking off the year with a special fund raiser sponsored by our PE teachers. They would love to add a GAGA PIT to the playground area. This game is high paced, high energy and high fun. It combines the skills of dodging, running, jumping and eye/hand/body coordination. The addition of a GAGA PIT on our playground would benefit:
- PE: Support our instructional skills
- Recess: Provide another activity for children on the 2-5 playground.
- Community: Available for after hours use for family, friends and community members.
Look for information about this fundraiser on Friday via the blogs and Friday Folders.
Please remember that we are in the height of the influenza seasons. The virus this year has reached epidemic proportions. In order for us to prevent this virus and many others from spreading, we need your help. If your child has a fever, keep him/her home until the fever has been gone for 24 hours (without the help of medication). Also, the symptoms of chronic sneezing, coughing and/or a sore throat without a fever can also be an indication of influenza. Your support in this area helps us do our best to keep the school environment healthy. On our end, we are cleaning door knobs, faucet handles and learning surfaces, etc., daily! We are also encouraging the use of hand sanitizer, sneezing into elbow area and showing kids how to keep hands out of their mouths (quite a challenge as you know). Feel free to send in the following items to help us toward germ elimination: Chlorox wipes, Kleenex tissue, hand sanitizer.
Finally, our transportation director, Jane Bykerk, has asked that we post the following: There is a need for school bus drivers. If you are interested in a position that is part time (up to 25 hours per week), contact Jane Bykerk at jbykerk@hpseagles.net
Enjoy your weekend!
