  Fitness News

 

This first Nine Weeks, we are studying Safety Rules – Water, Fire, Internet, Bike and First Aid. Please ask your child if they can tell you a safety rule! Where are your smoke detectors? Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home? Does your family have a fire escape plan? Do you clean out your dryer lint trap after each use? Have you ever had your dryer vent to the outside blown out?

 

We are also exercising to keep our hearts healthy, practicing great Social/Emotional Health, and working on building our good character!

 

Thank you for sending your child with tennis shoes on P.E. and Fitness days!
