FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Thank you to all of the parents/guardians who participated in our Spring Conference Week! It was wonderful to see you all!
I would like to extend an extraordinary thank you to the PTO and the hard working Executive Board for an incredibly successful Auction! Under the organization of co-chairs, Christina O'Brien and Lauren Lepore, we raised a little over $20,000 to support our school!! This is truly amazing and I am humbled by the generosity of this school community. Thank you so much!

From Mrs. Guidice's Health Office
March is National Nutrition Month
As parents, you can do a lot to help your children learn healthy eating habits. Involving them in meal preparation and cooking can motivate them to try new foods and is a good way to spend time together as a family.
- A healthy eating plan
- Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat free milk products
- Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts
- Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, sodium/salt and added sugars. Dedicate yourself to a healthy March (and beyond) with these tips.
Eat Breakfast. There is no better way to start your day than with a healthy breakfast. Try oatmeal, sliced almonds and berries with yogurt, or a toaster waffle topped with fruit.
Make Half Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables. Fruits and veggies add color, flavor and texture plus vitamins, minerals and fiber to your plate. Make 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of vegetables your daily goal. Don’t let winter stop you from enjoying produce. It may be harder to find fresh options, but frozen and canned are great alternatives.
Enact Family Meal Time. Research show that family meals promote healthier eating. Plan to eat as a family at least a few times a week. Set a regular mealtime. Turn off the TV, phones and other electronic devices to encourage mealtime talk. Get kids involved in meal planning and cooking and use this time to teach them about good nutrition.
