Girls on the Run - We have coaches, YEAH! Now we need girls!
GOTR is an after school program like no other! Twice a week for 10 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels and learn import life skills. Click here to learn more about the program. Registration is still open!
Kids Heart Challenge
With February being Heart Month, we have been challenged to keep hearts healthy through exercise by getting donations for additional heart research. Our students have had a lot of fun this week participating in extra gym time learning how to be heart healthy. By accepting this challenge we could possibly earn over $2,000.00 for our school to purchase new physical education equipment and school cash rewards. Our school is proud to partner with the American Heart Association and the “Heart Heroes” for this program.
Thank you to the many who have joined us in this cause and helped raise money for the American Heart Association. All monies are due to the office next Friday, February 21st.
Jungle Book Cast and Crew
Polar Bear Players- The Jungle Book: Our show is less than 3 weeks away!!! Please pay special attention to the practice times for the next few weeks, we have had to extend our rehearsal times. Also, be on the lookout for a production week sign up sheet. We will be looking for food donations to help us cover the dinners during tech week. As always if you have any questions feel free to email me at ewyman@d47.org
