Family Science Night 1

Family Science Night Success!

Family Science Night was a great success!  The students were so excited as they engaged in the various learning stations in the gym and cafeteria.  A special thanks to all of the families that showed for an incredible night and to the Asha-Jyothi Foundation for sponsoring this awesome event!  We had close to 300 students and families to attend! 


Fun Fit Friday

Fun Fit Fridays Will Resume on March 15

"Fun Fit Fridays (or F3)” will resume on Friday, March 15 from 8:10-8:35 AM and run through May 31. If you participated in the fall, you do not need to submit a permission form again. If you did not participate in the fall and would like to participate in the spring, please complete the attached form and return it to your child's teacher by Wednesday, March 13. 

Fun Fit Fridays is a token reward program. Each student-participant is issued a running card to keep track of his or her laps and total miles over the course of the year.  Students run/walk as many laps as possible in the 25-minute time period every Friday morning. After a student completes one lap around the track, an adult marks the student’s card. Each completed running card totals 30 laps, or 5 miles. Students receive a toe token each time they complete 5 miles. After 25, 50, 75, and 100 miles, students receive a number token representing the miles completed.  

This is an excellent opportunity for your children to meet new friends, enjoy the benefits of running/walking, and develop an appreciation for fitness. We hope this program builds self-confidence and improves fitness levels among our students and within the community. Everyone is welcome to join us!
