Spring Break is here!

Take this time to relax and enjoy

time with your family. With work

schedules and extra-curricular

activities many of us barely have

the time to sit down at the table,

at the same time, for a meal. So

we should all use this week as a

time to get back to our family.

Teaching old family traditions

while vacationing in the sun or

even making new ones; both are

equally important. Showing our

children that we remember what

it is like to have fun! So this Spring

Break let’s make it “Family Fun

Week” and just spend time with

the family immediate and/or

extended smiling and laughing

with one another!

Healthy Kids, Smart Kids

Stonewall Tell Elementary has adopted the Healthy Kids, Smart Kids

Wellness Initiative. We believe that healthier eating habits and consistent

exercise have a positive impact on our children’s learning and ultimately

their test scores. When sending in classroom snacks, please remember

that this is a “Sugar-Free Zone” school. Do not send soft drinks, fruit

drinks with processed sugar, candy, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes,

hot fries, TAKIS, or sugary snacks. Also note that birthday parties that

include cakes, cookies, wings, ice cream and other treats are prohibited

and will not be allowed in the building. Healthier items such as fruit cups,

fresh fruit, pretzels, baked chips, 100% juice, fresh vegetables, 100% fruit

snacks, granola bars, animal crackers and items with low salt and minimum sugar are allowed. ** Due to nut allergies, please do not send any snacks with peanuts or peanut butter in them.

ATTENTION PARENTS: EARLY MORNING DROP OFF ROUTINE

The morning times and dropping off your student is a very important

part of the day. But we need your help to make it run as expeditiously

as possible.

We have over 200 yards of sidewalk and you do not have to wait until

the children are directly in front of the door to drop off. By doing this

you are helping with the “Healthy kids, Smart kids” plan we are a part

of as well as helping the students to not be tardy to class. Please assist

us in making to morning drop off as efficient as possible.

Thanks in advance!
