Orchard Hill Friday Update
Friday, January 26, 2024
From Mr. Tortora
Please ask your child about our Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) Yoga assembly today - or even have your child show you the postures! We had some outside presenters, including parents and former parents, demonstrate and lead us in the 12 posture yoga sequence. Surya Namaskar helps to improve flexibility, strength, and overall fitness!

Winter Weather/Recess
With winter weather and cold temperatures upon us, please make sure to send in your child with appropriate outside apparel. We go out to recess as long as the temperature is above 20 degrees. If there is snow on the ground, we still go out and for students to play in the snow they must have boots and other snow gear.
