New Year's Resolutions
On that note, I would like to wish you and your family a very happy holiday. May all your days be filled with joy and good health. We at LLC look forward to seeing you after the break on January 3, 2022.
Flu Shot Is Due
All preschool students under the age of 5 must receive an influenza vaccination before they return on January 3, 2022. Please ask your child's pediatrician to provide written proof that your child has had their flu shot. If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Deb Korczukowski: 973-292-2222 ext.1111 or via email at deborah.korczukowski@msdk12.net.
From the Health Office:
Good nutrition, regular physical activity, and healthy body weight are essential to overall health and well-being. Studies show that dietary habits are shaped at a young age when supported by adults. Healthy eating starts with healthy food choices, but you don't have to be a chef to create nutritious meals and snacks for your family. Ask Penny in 103 who's enjoying her healthy sandwich!
Below you will find information that may be helpful with meal planning.

*Please remember foods like hot dogs, grapes, and raw carrots need to be cut into small pieces, approximately the size of a nickel, to avoid the risk of choking.
LLC Friendly Reminders
Dismissal procedures are safest when they are consistent. Therefore, if you requested a bus for your child, they should be using this service daily. If you need to make a change to your child's dismissal, the office must be notified no later than 12:00 pm via email at gabriela.lorelli@msdk12.net or by phone at 973-292-2222 ext. 1100. Please also email your child's teacher.
Keeping Kids Engaged Over the Winter Break
Below are some ways to keep children’s minds and bodies engaged in learning while having fun and bonding as a family this winter break.
Kids in the Kitchen: Let your child(ren) help plan and cook meals. Pick a recipe together and talk about the food groups and why making healthy choices matters. Tap into their math skills with measuring, strengthen fine motor muscles with mixing, and expand their vocabulary with all the cool kitchen gadgets.
Family Game Night: Enjoy the time spent with your family and engage in an age-appropriate game. Try Candyland, Connect Four, or Go Fish. Playing games encourages a variety of social and cognitive skills.
Read Together: There is no single activity that promotes more joy, bonding, and conversation than reading together. After the story, encourage children to retell it or express their creativity by drawing a picture about a favorite character.
Get Outside: Explore a new park, visit a hiking trail, or just stroll the neighborhood. Wherever you go, explore and discover the great outdoors!
