First Branch News!

Many thanks to our teachers and parent volunteers for a great winter carnival on Friday, 2/17! Despite the weather challenges, it was a great day for indoor and outdoor experiences. More photos to come! 

In addition, we have some exciting news about the American Heart Kids Challenge! Tunbridge broke the former record with $2,211.89 in donations raised! (The old school record of $2,194.90.) Way to go! Overall, 1P won the challenge by having the most students registered for the event. Way to go 1P! A very special thank you to Ms. Abbie for all her hard work on this with our partner Nick Strance from American Heart.

Spring Conferences:

Teachers and teams are organizing spring conference schedules. Please be on the lookout for invites. We look forward to meeting with families soon.

Winter (Mud) Gear Reminder:

Winter is here! Please remember to send your student with a winter clothing: hat, mittens, snow pants, boots, and shoes for indoor use. This is the time of year we ask for "2 Sets of Shoes" to keep students comfortable and our buildings clean. If your student is in need of an item please let our nurses know. Finally, please label all clothing.

One Planet & Girls on the Run:

One Planet is searching for a Volunteer to be a Girls on the Run coach for First Branch this spring! The Girls on the Run program is an after school program that uses a research based curriculum to empower, increase self-worth and spark joy in its participants. Visit gotrvt.org/coach to learn more or sign up to volunteer. Not sure what Girls on the Run is, or what a practice looks like? Here is a video that shares about Girls on the Run being more than just a running a program, and the positive impact on the whole family.
