Celebrations

Even our celebrations that have nothing to do with Healthy Living have taken on healthy aspects----Here the students dance during the assembly for NECAP celebrations

5-2-1-0 Kick Off

Our school had our 5-2-1-0 kick off last week and the students were excited about the Broccoli Eating Contest and the Dunk the Junk Race between two families in our school. The message about getting our school and students to make healthy choices was received loud and clear. One of the most exciting things we did to celebrate 5-2-1-0 was to collect food to support our local food pantry and families.
