In just another week we will be halfway through Winter. You may find that you and your child are not as active during the cold winter days. Here are some ideas to remain active. My favorite thing to do at my house to stay active is to have a dance party! What's yours?

Boosterthon- Coming Soon- Look for Sponsors
Boosterthon and the Luce Shine Sprint is returning and will take place March 18th- 29th! This is our major fundraiser of the year, and the proceeds will go to supporting academic enrichment at the school. Boosterthon is a fun, nine-day program that combines world-class character content with a highly-profitable fundraiser. This year's character themes focus on curiosity, practice, confidence, humility, and endurance through documentaries that highlight real student-athletes. Here are 2 links to give you more information about the program.
https://www.boosterthon.com/how-it-workshttps://vimeo.com/569362150/2d20ab4872
To increase the excitement and school spirit of this event, we’re hoping to provide each student with a FREE custom Luce School t-shirt to wear the day of the Luce Shine Sprint event, at no cost to the student or the school. To make this happen, we need your help! We’re hoping to partner with local businesses to help sponsor these shirts. If you know of, or are affiliated with, a business that would be interested in sponsoring shirts for our students, please email Luce CAPT at lucecapt@gmail.com. Here is the Sponsorship Form.
Next CAPT Meeting -- Tuesday February 15, 2022 @ 7pm

Substitutes Needed (Repost)
Do you have a college-age child coming home for winter break? If so, would they be interested in subbing for the Canton Public Schools while they are here? Subbing is a great way to keep busy, make money and get real-world work experience. In Canton, we have had great success bringing our own, former students back to help support our students and schools during this busy time year. If your child is interested, please have them fill out this sub application packet and email it to Kim Eardley (eardleyk@cantonma.org) to get the process started. If they fill it out before they get home, the process can begin asap!
Students in their first year of college are able to sub at the elementary and preschool levels only.
Students in their second year or beyond can sub at all school levels.
