* March Health & Safety Challenge: Be Smart! Make smart choices about what you eat.
1. Be smart about what you eat! Read labels and be aware of how much sugar and fats you are eating.
2. Make smart choices about healthy snacks. Choose snacks that are low in sugar and fats and high in fiber and vitamins. Stay away from junk food!
3. Keep track of how many fruits and vegetables you are eating. Do you get 5 a day? Try something new and different this month.

* Reminder: All 4th and 5th graders who want to enter the “Truth For Youth” anti-tobacco campaign contest need to turn in their entries to the office by Monday, March 14th. There are hundreds of dollars in prizes and all students who enter will receive a drawstring backpack from the Health Department.

* Mark on your calendar to eat at Tremonton McDonalds at the end of March! Some of our teachers will be working out there as a fundraiser and the proceeds during that time will go to our school. Those with a last name starting A-J come on March 29th from 5-8 PM and those with a last name of K-Z come on March 30th from 5-8 PM. If it is easier to come on the night not designated for your last name, please still come support the fundraiser. We are mainly dividing it up hopefully to make it a little less crazy for McDonalds on those evenings. You can come anytime between 5-8 PM on those two nights. THANKS!!!!

* Remember The Box Tops Competition for March will be between the Kindergarten classes. You can bring in the following items: Box Tops, Cream of Weber lids, Campbell’s Soup labels, empty Elmer’s glue stick tubes/glue bottles and empty Neosporin tubes. Make sure Box Tops are cut out along the dotted lines and the soup labels are just the UPC with the point value. Bring in as much as you can and put them in the collection container in your classroom. THERE WILL BE A PRIZE FOR THE WINNING CLASS! Good Luck!
