Note from Mrs. Stone in the gym:
Hello Andrew Ave Families,
During the month of February I have teamed up with the American Heart Association and have introduced your children to heart healthy discussion and activities. You should have seen a packet come home for the fundraising drive call KIDS HEART CHALLENGE. Our school has already raised over $500!! Way to go!
Here is the link to our school page where you can learn more about the project and make donations online.
Also, On Wednesday February 13th we will have our Family Fitness Night. There will be two sessions: Session one 5:30pm-6:30pm & Session two 6:45pm - 7:45pm. Flyers for this event should be going home today and a copy of the flyer will be in with this newsletter. Any family who would like to attend needs to fill out and return the slip no later than Tuesday Feb 12th.
