Book Character
Dress-Up Day
Students are invited to dress as their favorite literary characters. Please, do not wear face-covering masks. We also ask that characters not bring any representation of a weapon. That means Paul Bunyan must put away his ax. Robin Hood and Katniss Everdeen need to leave their quivers, bows, and arrows at home. We can't wait to see what creative characters you can come up with this year!

Eating healthy gives you the energy to be active and have fun! The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables loaded with color are like a protective armor for kids (and adults). Think of them as superpowers. Just like a special ring gives the Green Lantern his power, the bright and vibrant colors found in veggies and fruits offer kids impressive health advantages. Teach your kids about real-life food powers and inspire them to try new fruits and veggies."

This is part two in our coping skills strategies for parents and students. Help support your child in developing healthy habits and skills to manage emotions and to deal with stress.
Practice coping skills regularly, not only when your child is upset. Practicing these skills will help your child be more prepared when emotions or stress hit.
Go for a walk, run or hike
Have a drink of cold water
Play a board game
Sing a song
Build with Legos
Journal or write someone a letter
ParentingTip:
Model coping skills for yourself and the whole family. Explain the connection between feelings and healthy coping strategies. For example:
"I'm feeling stressed after a hard day at work. I am going to take the dog for a walk to help me calm down. Would you like to join me?"
