Last Walk and Roll to School Day

Walk and Roll into Summer Break

Our final Walk & Roll to School Day will be on Wednesday, June 7.  Walking and riding to school is fun and easy. Using your feet or bike to get to/from school provides independence and makes kids stronger and healthier.  Walk & Roll to School encourages slower, safer, and less car traffic.  It can have a positive effect on our children's lives, community, and the world. Join us on June 7 by walking or riding from home, meet at a friends house and leave from there, or join the walking group leaving from Bayside Rd. at 8:00.  See you June 7!

Helping Your Child Navigate the Internet and Social Media

Discussion Forum for Parents--Tuesday, May 23rd, 5:30-7:00 pm in the Library

All parents and care providers are invited to attend this open forum.  At this parent facilitated forum, we will discuss questions, concerns, tips and resources related to our children’s use of the internet and social media.  Topics will likely include how to establish boundaries around screen time, how to talk about safety and privacy, and how to identify and respond to cyber harassment or bullying.

To capitalize on our time together, email any specific questions you may have in advance of the 23rd to Melinda Pedersen who will be moderating the forum.  

HRgoddess.mel@gmail.com Your submissions will drive the agenda. ALSO, if you have an app or website or resource you have found helpful around this topic, please email that, too, and we will share them at the forum.

Cardboard Boxes Needed for Exploration Day

Do you have access to any large pieces of cardboard through your work or business? How about any cardboard boxes laying around the house from your last trip to COSTCO? Don't recycle them - WE WOULD LOVE THEM! Please send any boxes you may be able to find to school with your child. Boxes are being collected in room 3 (Mrs. Dean's room), and will continue to be until Exploration Day (June 9th)! Thank you so much for your support!
