Transportation Changes
If your child is
making a transportation change, we need a note.
Please do not send your child in with a verbal message. Due to misunderstandings, we can no longer
accept verbal messages from children.
Thank you!
Mid-Winter Wellness Challenge
MSAD #4 is
challenging students to improve their health by becoming more active on a daily
basis. Starting Jan. 18 and ending Feb.
11, each school will be keeping track of the amount of physical activity
students participate in. A Wellness Log
will be sent home each Monday to record activity. It should be returned the following Monday
signed by the student and parent/guardian.
When the students show improved performance, there will be a special
healthy event. Please encourage your
child to be active!
Lunch Money
This is a reminder
that lunch money should be sent in on the first day of the week. You may pay for just that week, bimonthly, or
monthly. Please put the lunch money in
an envelope labeled with the amount
enclosed and your child’s first and last name because we have many
children with the same first name.
Thank you

Project Read Calendars
The Project Read Calendars have been returned for
the month of December. We encourage
everyone to participate in this worthwhile program. Students who are responsible in returning
their calendar at the end of the month will receive a small prize. Following is the number of calendars returned
from each class:
Cold Weather
Students and
parents need to be reminded that cold weather is here. Students do go outside each day for recess
and need to dress warmly(hats, mittens/gloves,
jackets, ski pants, boots). Our school
policy states that: Weather permitting,
students participate in recess each day.
Decisions to have recess during cold weather depend upon the temperature
and the wind chill factor. Students
should always dress for outside recess. Only
students with a medical excuse will be allowed to remain in the building during
scheduled outside recesses. Students
well enough to attend school will benefit from a short period of time outside
for fresh air and exercise.
Fundraisers
By collecting Box Tops for Education, we have
raised $180 as of Oct. 2004. Another
bunch will be sent in soon. Please keep
sending them to school. We also raised
$615 by saving the Hannaford Helps Schools certificates. Thank you for your
support with these two projects!
