News from the Nurse
Did you know children ages 6-12 years old need 9-12 hours of sleep each night?
Here are a few tips to promote a healthy sleep routine at home:
Set bedtimes and wake up times at the same time each day.
Remove electronics from the bedroom and avoid screen time for at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
Have a bedtime routine. For example: brush their teeth, read a story then bed.
Keep the bedroom cool and dark.
Limit drinks that have caffeine and sugar.
Get active for at least 30-60 minutes every day.

Bath Elementary PTA
The PTA is stepping up to the challenge from Phippsburg PTA and coordinating a canned soup drive for the Bath Area Food Bank in the month of November! If families are able to help, you can send a can of any type of soup in with your student any day this month. Which school will collect the most cans? DNS or FMS? Follow us on Facebook to keep track of the can counts!
We are bring back the Holiday Bee-Zaar! What is the Holiday Bee-Zaar you ask? During school on Friday, December 15th, students will be able to “shop” the donated items to bring home for their families as a Holiday Gift. Keep an eye out for more information coming soon.
