Book Fair is coming to town
Our Spring Book Fair is coming up and I am looking forward to seeing all of you here. There are plenty of spots available to help, from set-up after school on March 17th to breakdown after the Pot of Gold on March 25th. You can even help some of our younger readers create a wish list to take home. This is a fun way to accomplish some of your family service hours.
To be a student helper, please check with Mrs. Katharine in the front office to make sure your fingerprints and Protecting God’s Children are up to date. This is not necessary for both set-up and break-down.
Thank you for your help,
Kimball Bosko

March Sleep Awareness Week
There are so many ways to improve your sleep hygiene.NSF has various guides on its website that are designed to help readers sleep better, and therefore live better. The organization's top three daytime tips for better sleep are:
Spend some time in natural light every day (or at least, in artificial light of equivalent brightness)
Exercise regularly — ideally, 30 minutes a day, for days a week
Eat your meals at the same time each day.
And NSF's top three sleep tips for nighttime are:
In the hours preceding bedtime, avoid eating heavy meals, as well as stimulants like caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine.
Implement a regular nighttime routine that helps you feel relaxed before bed
Get off your phone and other screens about an hour before you go to bed — and try to keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
Frequently changing sheets and showering before bed can help sleep better and help with allergies. So many of our students are suffering from Allergies right now. If you have a student under the age of 6 I can not give Benadryl without a Dr order. The Medical Authorization form is online or you can stop by the clinic to pick up a form. Please have the form filled out by your child’s Health Care Provider.
