Recently, we asked for your help to present the Junior Achievement curriculum to 2nd and 3rd Grade classes. Thank you so much to the amazing parents and volunteers who stepped up to the plate on January 5!
The following three classes are scheduled to complete the program on February 9, 2018: Council, Hayes, Headd.
We could really use your help to ensure that these three classes are able to participate in this experience!

Health & Wellness Tip
The Physical Activity Group Guidelines for Americans recommend that children and adolescents ages 6-17 receive 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day.
With cold weather here to stay, you'll need to get creative to find ways to keep your kids active. Here are some ideas:
Locate an indoor location conducive to physical activity such as a bowling alley, local gym, indoor basketball court, or indoor pool.
Schedule an indoor kids’ fitness class at the local YMCA or community center.
Download an exercise video for your kids, or a game / activity that promotes movement on their gaming device - Xbox, PlayStation or Wii.
Bundle the kids up for an outside adventure! Have your child dress in layers with hats, gloves and warm socks. Running around outside will get their heart rates up and help keep them warm.
