Healthy Lunch = Healthy Learners!
A nutritious lunch helps kids stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. Try these simple ideas for a balanced lunchbox:
✅ Fruits & Veggies – apple slices, carrot sticks, grapes, or cucumber rounds.
✅ Whole Grains – whole wheat wraps, pasta, or crackers.
✅ Lean Protein – turkey, beans, cheese, or yogurt.
✅ Hydration – swap out sugary drinks for water or milk.
Small changes make a big difference in your child’s energy and focus at school. Let’s fuel our students for success this school year!

Back-to-School Reminder: Backpack Safety for Kids
As our students head back to school, let’s keep their health in mind! A heavy or poorly fitted backpack can strain a child’s back, shoulders, and posture. Here are a few quick tips to keep kids safe:
✅ Choose a backpack with wide, padded straps.
✅ Make sure both straps are worn—never just one!
✅ Keep the backpack weight at no more than 10–15% of your child’s body weight.
✅ Use multiple compartments to distribute weight evenly.
✅ Place heavier items closest to the back.
Let’s keep our kids walking tall, strong, and safe this school year!

Children's eye safety and eye health are very important. Make sure you have your child's eyes checked and that they wear protective gear depending on what they are doing. Supervise playtime, watch out for hazardous materials and avoid toys with sharp points. We only have one set of eyes so keep them safe.
