LAP-A-THON: The
excitement is
building - the anticipation is growing!! We are all looking
forward to our annual Lap-A-Thon this Friday. We are so grateful
to the Sheeper Family for donating the key raffle prize of a great
bicycle. We still need volunteers. Parent volunteers should
arrive at 8:00 a.m. and be ready to have fun and help! Sponsor
sheets should be turned in by this time. "Parents/relatives who
would like to do laps with their children can bring a $25.00 donation
check the day of the Lap-A-Thon."
On Friday, April 23, students should
wear sunscreen, bring a hat if they want to, wear appropriate exercise
clothes with a clean shirt or sweatshirt if they want to change or add
warmth when finished and no open toe shoes -- only athletic
shoes.
The students will receive their
sponsor sheets back to collect the pledges. Sponsor sheets and
pledges are due back to school on Tuesday, May 4.
Parents interested in
volunteering, please contact Maryclair Thomas or Lisa Sheeper.
Service hours for this year must be completed by April 30th.

6. NO BULLY WORKSHOP: Soul
Shoppe presented the third of three workshops entitled, "Free To Be" on
Monday. The students were taught what it takes to be a safe
"bully-free" school, tools to feel safe and empowered and how to put
C.A.R.E. (Connection, Appreciation, Respect, Empty) into action.
Four sessions were held for the different grade levels: K-2, 3-5,
6, and 7-8. It was a very worthwhile event with insightful
interaction and participation by the children.

EARTH WEEK: On
Earth
Day we should all think of ways to help our planet - and actually
follow through with our plans. We should all try to save our beautiful
planet by fixing one bad habit. Some of those bad habits could be
taking very long showers, littering frequently, throwing recyclables in
the trash, etc. You could pick anything to work on! This is
our planet! We should help it so not only we can have a brighter
future, but future generations can too. It all starts with
you.
