Sitting
at my desk writing this message, I look out of the window to see a cloudless,
beautiful, sunny day. I can think of thousands of places I’d rather be right
now than here in this stuffy office. SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
I know students feel the same as I do right now. Parents/guardians please
see that your
I
also want to put a plug in for summer vacation and our summer school. I know
that is a ways off yet but it’s good to start planning now. Research shows
student have a definite learning regression during the summer months due to not
using skills introduced and practiced throughout the school year. We offer a
free summer school for four weeks during the summer break. The students get two
meals a day, tutoring and enrichment activities such as fieldtrips. I encourage
parents and students to begin discussing the possibility of attending. Contact
Mrs. Murphy at the school if you would like more details.
Third,
I want to express a word of caution to students and parents. At different events
I notice students drinking energy drinks such as Red Bull or Rockstar. This is a
risky practice that I strongly advise against. Many may not know but one serving
of these drinks contains up to 3,000 stimulants compared to something like
Coca-Cola which has 34.5 in a can. Consuming excessive stimulants can lead to
heart palpitations, severe headaches, addiction and increased propensity for
strokes among other things. Please students, make a sensible, healthy choice for
quenching your thirst.
In
closing, the fourth quarter is also the time for special events such as the
Easter Egg Hunt, graduations and end of the year fieldtrips. Please plan to
attend those that are possible.
