Improving and maintaining cardiovascular health can help you and your family enjoy a longer, healthier life. An easy first step to eating healthy is to include color at every meal. Fill your plate with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and some dairy products. All colors count, so go ahead and add color to your plate – and your life.

FYI Spring Picture Day is February 21st. These will be full body photographs. A proof or portrait package will be sent home from school with information on how to order. The photographers suggest Picture Day attire with solid colors and small patterns work best. They also suggest avoiding clothing with large images and logos. Here's an example with this year's background included to help you plan ahead. 📷
Tomorrow is the day!

Caring kids bring a $1 to school and get to wear their favorite hats throughout the school day on Friday, February 2nd. By participating in Kidz in Lids, we'll help local children from our district get to their cancer treatments.
