COUNSELING CONNECTIONS

We will continue demonstrating Kindness this month with and will kick off our Kindness Challenge on January 25th! Kindness means you are concerned about other people. Kind people think about another person’s feelings and not just their own, they help someone who is in need, and they are kind even when others are not. Kind people never expect anything in return. They just treat other people kindly because they want to help make someone’s life better. Kindness makes the world

a nicer place, because it makes people happier. How many acts of kindness can you perform?

A big shout out to our first semester Owl Patrol for the great

job they did taking care of our students! Thank you for all

your hard work! Our 2nd semester Owl Patrol is ready to go!

We will also continue to explore and demonstrate our GRIT by

being Safe, Responsible and Respectful!

News from the Clinic

Breakfast is indeed a very important meal. It’s a great way to give the body the refueling it needs.

It's important for kids to have breakfast every day, but what they eat in the morning is crucial too. Choosing breakfast foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber, and protein while low in added sugar may boost kids' attention span, concentration, and memory — which they need to learn in school.

Skipping breakfast can make kids feel tired, restless, or irritable. In the morning, their bodies need to refuel for the day ahead after going without food for 8 to 12 hours during sleep. Their mood and energy can drop by midmorning if they do not eat at least a small morning meal.

P.E. Scoop Beginning Monday, January 14, 2019, Kindergarten students will have the opportunity to show us how they can tie their shoes in P.E. They will be able to sign a shoe that will go on the wall to help their class win our " Shoe Tying Contest." The contest will end on Friday, January 25th, and the winning class will receive a popcorn party. Please help your child practice at home! We have set our shoe tying goal and hope everyone will work towards accomplishing it!

Looking forward to a fit and fun New Year!
