The Cougar's Den
March 2019
Principal's Corner
I would like to send out a brief reminder that Daylight Savings Time begins on March 10th while we sleep Saturday into Sunday, with clocks springing ahead an hour at 2 a.m.
In addition, the end of third quarter is quickly approaching, and it’s very important for our students to focus on attendance and catching up on any missing assignments.
Lastly, we are very happy with the academic achievements of our students thus far, and want to encourage everyone to study hard for their finals and then enjoy a well-deserved and relaxing Spring Break.
Thank You & Go Cougars!

Go Further with Food!
“Go Further with Food” is the message for this year’s National Nutrition Month celebrated during the month of March. Making healthy food choices throughout the day can help students concentrate better on school work, have more energy for after-school activities, and generally make them feel better! Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.
Three basic guidelines according the the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics are:
- Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products,
- Include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts, and
- Minimize saturated fats, trans fats, salt (sodium), and added sugars. By just keeping these 3 guidelines in mind, Americans will be well on their way to optimal health.
