Volleyball is restricted to 25 parent spectators per game. We WILL still be live-streaming if you're unable to be a live spectator. Please click the volleyball schedule to see the live YouTube link and watch the game.

March is National Nutrition Month
March is National Nutrition Month and this year's theme is
"Personalize Your Plate"
Eating a nutritious breakfast can help your child get more nutrition, be energized for school, improve concentration, and encourage them to make healthier choices throughout the day.
Healthy Breakfasts for Busy Mornings
Get the morning nutrition you need with these quick breakfast ideas.
Instant oatmeal: Make it with fat-free or low-fat milk instead of water. Toss in raisins or dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. Or mix in ΒΌ cup unsweetened applesauce and sprinkle with apple pie spice or cinnamon.
Yogurt parfait: Layer fat-free or low-fat plain yogurt with your crunchy cereal and blueberries.
Breakfast smoothie: Blend low-fat milk, frozen strawberries and a banana.
Toaster waffle: Toast and top with nut butter and apple slices.
Pita egg sandwich: Stuff a whole-wheat pita with a sliced, hard-cooked egg and low-fat shredded cheese.
Banana roll-up: Spread peanut butter on a whole-wheat tortilla. Add a peeled, whole banana and roll it up.
Bagel and veggies: Spread hummus on a whole-grain toasted bagel. Top with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.
English muffin: Add lean ham and low-fat Swiss cheese to a toasted whole-grain English muffin.
Thanks!
