Hello First Branch,
We hope everyone is getting through weekend storm okay. Our Friday night dance for our 5th-8th grade was a success thanks to all our parent support. We had a great time dancing with glow sticks, watching March Madness, eating snacks and enjoying a night together. Please see facebook for photos.
This week, we kick off state testing. Students need to hear just to do their best. To do this, we need students to get enough sleep at night, eat decent meals, and take time to unwind daily. Each day, First Branch provides breakfast, lunch, and a snack. We are also spreading testing out for our students and staff, so we have the staff on hand for needs. A lot goes into making this work each day, and we are grateful for all the hard work our testing coordinators Mrs. Karen Colby (CPS) and Mrs. Megan Weber (TCS)
- school-age (6–13 years): 9–12 hours
- teens (14–17 years): 8–10 hours

We also have transportation for the evening event running from CPS and TCS with faculty support. Please reach out if your plans have changed and need to use the evening transportation. We have room for families too!
Fresh Fruit & Veg Grant is Back!
One of our favorite grants is back! Fresh fruit & Veg! This means snack and salad bars get more exciting because funding is coming in to expand our orders. Currently, as a district, we fund our daily fresh fruit & veg snacks, and this gives us Bring on the berries, pineapple, and occasionally dragonfruit!
Be Well,
Janet Cash
Principal, First Branch Unified District
