**Tangerine Chicken Change**
We are so blessed with wonderful school cooks! They have made a change to the Tangerine Chicken entree. The sauce will now be served on the side so students can eat the breaded chicken plain or use the dipping sauce.
Event Information
Self-Defense Class
Sunday, September 23rd, LIW PTO and Fallout Shelter Ministries will be hosting two Self Defense classes. Normally a $35/person class, you can attend one of our sessions for a Free Will Donation.
In addition, Fallout Shelter Ministries has graciously offered to donate half of all donations to the LIW Elementary Playground!!!
Anyone that is interested is welcome to join! Sign up here to reserve your spot!! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0c48a9af29a3fb6-self
Fallout Shelter Ministries believes that the physical aspect of self-defense is important. No less important, however, is a mindset of choosing safety, understanding how your body responds during a frightening or startling encounter, how to detect danger, and how to overcome fear; not just in violent encounters but in day to day life. Defusing skills, stress inoculation and emotional reaction management are also critical skills addressed in their courses. Learn more about them at www.falloutshelterministries.com!
The classes will consist of both classroom type content as well as hands on practice. We will hold two separate classes to tailor the message appropriately for both. The first session at 1pm will be a 1.5hr session for children under 10 years of age with an adult. The second session at 3pm will be a 2.5hr session for adults, teens and older children. (Please note that this second session may contain adult content strictly related to self defense.)

Bike Safety
The beginning of the school year is a great time to remind children about bike safety. We have had reports of students riding in the middle of the road and crossing streets without looking.
Please take the time to practice your child's route to and from school to help them understand the safest method.

One School, One Book
We are very excited about a new literacy program that is a school/family partnership. It is called One School, One Book. Every family in grades K-5 will receive a copy of the book, "The Trumpet of the Swan" to read with their child. We will have a calendar for families to follow and activities to complete at school. Stay tuned for more information!
