Stoller families,
As we head into Spring Break, I hope you enjoy the extra time you get with your children. When we get back from the break, we have a lot to look forward to. Our Stoller 5K will be right around the corner. Please make sure you sign your family up, it is a great way to bond as a family while supporting our school. See below for more details.
Also, please remember to visit Bethany Public House on April 3rd and support your Stoller PTO. More details below.
We are hoping to have our doors and other safety upgrades completed over the break.
We should also have monitors installed throughout the building. Thanks to our PTO for helping with modernizing our school.
Once all these upgrades are complete, I will take pictures and include in the next newsletter.
Have a wonderful break!

One Heart, One Choice - Pacer Test
The objective of the PACER is to run as long as possible while keeping a specified pace. Students run back and forth across a 20-meter space at a pace that gets faster each minute. A point is scored for each 20-meter distance covered. The test is easier in the beginning but progressively gets more difficult. In comparison to distance running, the PACER is a more effective, fun, and easy way to measure aerobic capacity that encourages participation from all youth and is relatively easy to score and administer.
Thanks to all the teachers who volunteered to get out there and run the Pacer. It was a fun event and great environment with the kids cheering on their teachers.
