Talent Show Fun! Shake that Groove Thing!
Do you like to shake your groove thing? Do you like to get jiggy with it? Do like to twist and shout? Then the Teacher Dance is for you!!!
This year I will be teaching any interested staff an EASY AND FUN dance that we will be performing at the talent show. Think how much your kids will love it if you are on the stage dancing your heart out for them! I promise, you don’t have to be good at dancing or have ANY experience. This is JUST FOR FUN.
We will be having practices pretty much every Wednesday starting after Spring Break until the talent show (May 18) from 3:45-4:45. Tricia, would it be okay if we practiced in the Media Center on those days? Here are the dates we will be practicing:
April 13
April 20
April 27
May 4
May 11
Please let me know if you are interested by Mon. April 4 (the first day back from Spring Break).
Thanks!

Dragon Dash: Promotion and Scholarship Applications
The Scholarship applications came to you last week via email! If you have a student who would like to participate but does not have the funds...please work with them to fill out the scholarship and get those to me by Friday, March 25th. The City has graciously offered to sponsor several! Also, we have police officers willing to run with those friends that might need an adult to accompany them!
Thanks for promoting our DASH! It is going to be the best DASH ever!
Recess Alternatives: Let's Keep our Dragons Active!
When looking at taking recess--we ask?
Can they lose a portion vs. all recess?
Could students be asked to "walk the zipper line" vs. staying inside--we like to move it, move it?
What alternatives are available?
If you want to speak more about it--let me know but let's keep our Dragons Moving!
