Winterthur Program
Winterthur Museum presented their program “Once Upon a Playtime” to third grade classes. Students were able to explore how children played several hundred years ago, using classic toys and games, such as Alphabet Gymnastics, Jacob’s Ladder, tops, buzz saws, and marbles. The program was educational and fun!
Reminder:
Please remember that this Wednesday, February 21, 2024 is an early dismissal day for our students.
Kid's Heart Challenge
I am so excited for this year’s Kids Heart Challenge! I will be running a school wide fun event of jump roping and other activities on February 29, Leap Day, to celebrate our school’s success! During physical education class this week I will be talking to your student about the American Heart Association, the great work they do to help children with sick hearts and how we can help by gathering donations during the month of February! Our students in return will get some neat thank you gifts!
One of our goals is to get 50% of our school to register online through the website listed below. If we can reach this goal, US Games will donate $500 to our school to put towards new programs and gym equipment for our students!
Our school’s American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge has begun today, January 31, 2024! We are asking you to register for our Kids Heart Challenge team and help us reach our goal of 100% of our families learning the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR. Last year, 5-year-old Phil and his mother, Megan, saved a life because they watched the Hands-Only CPR video (part of Finn’s Mission).
Get started today and be the first at our school to complete Finn’s Mission!
