Hi, all!
I hope you had a green St. Patrick’s Day! This holiday is very special to me since I am half Irish. My ancestors came over to the United States over 100 years ago! I still have relatives in Ireland. I have never been to the “Emerald Isle”, but I hope to visit soon!!
Well, testing and report cards are done! I really saw a lot of concentration and hard work by students taking their tests.
Congratulations to all of the 5th graders who made it onto the Volleyball Team. I will include their names soon. These students will practice together and the play against the staff volleyball team in May.
The Martian Marathon is only 23 days away! The Running Club has been running once a week since September and can’t wait for the race! The students will run 1.2 miles which will complete a full marathon for them (26.2 miles). I will be running in the 5 K race (3.1 miles) earlier in the morning on the same day.
The 4th marking period starts this Monday (March 21st). Can you believe how fast this year has flown by?
Don’t forget, spring begins this Sunday! Happy Spring!
I hope you’ve caught up on you sleep since we sprung forward last weekend. I really enjoy the extra hour of daylight!
Healthy tip –
Sleep is good! Enough quality sleep is necessary and very important. Not only is it good for your body, it’s good for your brain. Many children do not get enough sleep every night. Uninterrupted sleep is quality sleep. It helps the child go through the different stages of sleep which are needed to keep the body and brain healthy. Quality sleep helps increase a child’s brainpower and a child’s attention span and it also helps them to be mentally alert. So go catch some zzzzzzz’s!
