We Love You Ms. Meka!

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

This month’s Dinner To Go will consist of

BBQ chicken, Mac ‘n Cheese, String Beans and a roll. The plates are $5 and will be

ready for pick up between 4pm-6pm. All profit we make will be donated to Harper Wanner’s mom, Tina. She is

currently fighting Stage 4 Cancer of the Ureter that has spread to the lymph nodes in her abdomen. Naturally, her treatments are

very expensive. Your enthusiastic support of Dinner to Go will be tremendously appreciated by both

Healthy Bodies in Motion: Creating Sugar Bugs on Teeth

The early years in a child’s development are the best time for a child to learn about oral health and to develop a positive attitude about good dental habits. By concentrating on dental health activities the students will learn how to keep their teeth healthy: brushing, eating tooth-friendly foods, flossing, and the importance

of going to the dentist.

Measuring Car After a day of measuring at school, Sam and Sara have tried to measure almost everything on their way home. When they get to their favorite play area, Sam wonders how far it is from the tree house to the ice-cream shop. Sam says that it doesn’t look that far from where he’s standing. Sam pulls out a measuring tape and wants to

start measuring , but Sara thinks there could be a much better way of measuring distance. Can you help Sam and Sara build a car that measures how far it travels?
