Boosterthon Fun Run and Achievement Tests!!

  We had a FABULOUS time at our annual Spring Sprint Fun Run!!  The students raised lots of money for our school, ran their hearts out, and laughed through all of it!  I loved running/walking with all my 15 blessings!  Thank you all for the hard work in raising money for our school.  We appreciate every one of you!  Below are a few pictures!
   This upcoming week, we have Achievement Tests.  That means there will be no tests or homework this week. Here are some important reminders about Achievement Tests:

• Do not put unneeded pressure on your student.  These students are ready for the test and can sometimes get nervous.  Please just remind them to do their best, read all the answer choices, rule out the answers that don't make sense, and focus.
• Go to bed at a good bedtime.  Students need good rest so they can be focused and ready!
• Eat a protein filled breakfast each morning.  Sugary breakfasts can cause students to "crash" in the middle of the morning.  Good breakfast examples would be sausage biscuit, bacon biscuit, eggs, protein smoothie, cheese toast, etc.....
• Be on Time!  We will start promptly at 7:55 a.m.  If your child arrives late, he or she will not be permitted into the room and will have to take his/her test at another time.
• Pack a healthy snack.  Students will get  a chance to have a quick snack.  Please not sugary drinks, candy bars, etc...  Some good ideas are Cheez Its, Goldfish, crackers and cheese, grapes, oranges, apples, peanut butter crackers, etc...
• RELAX and BREATHE!

   Don't forget about some upcoming events:

• April 15- Tennessee Dioramas are due
• April 17- Downtown Walking Tour
• April 19- No School
• April 25- 3rd-5th grade Play
• May 1- Tennessee Scrapbook is due

Have a GREAT week!!
