| Welcome to Northeast !!! |
What a cold winter! Even though we do not have the amount of snow that we had last year, it has been very cold – the wind whips through you. Please make sure that your child has a coat, hat and mittens/gloves on when she comes to school. If a child is not adequately covered for the cold weather, he or she will not go outside for recess.
Thanks to all the staff and parents who have supported our fall Northeast Walks! program. Our walking continues this winter with monthly themed walks – we have a Sweet Stroll planned for February 15th. There are walks also scheduled on March 14th (March Madness March) and April 18th (Spring Steps). Remember, making sure that our children are active now will lead to life long good habits when it comes to physical activity. Some facts to consider about being active:
- Health status is influenced 40% by lifestyle and behavior choices. Individuals have the power to make good choices.
- Walking is a no-cost activity for families, neighbors, businesses and schools.
- Physically active youth are more likely to grow into physically active adults.
- Physical activity reduces the likelihood of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
- Walking is a multi-generational, multi-cultural activity.
We hope that you are taking advantage of the cold, inside time to read to and with your child(ren). The Children’s Reading Foundation says, “Just 20 minutes a day reading aloud with young children strengthens relationships, encourages listening and language skills, promotes attention and curiosity, and establishes a strong reading foundation. These skills are essential for success in school and in life.” Find out more at: http://www.readingfoundation.org/more.jsp.
Enjoy your vacation!
