Lake Review
February 5th, 2016
***Tip of the week - February is heart health month! Studies show that eating 3 servings of
berries a week helps promote a healthy heart.
***Valentine’s Day - In keeping with our mission to promote health and nutrition here at HLA, I
am requesting that you do not send in any sugary treats with your child’s Valentine cards. We
will be having a class party after lunch on Friday (2/12). Please feel free to send in a healthy
snack to share with the class. The children always enjoy fresh fruits, yogurt, cheese, popcorn,
etc. If your child would like to make a Valentine, please make sure they make one for everyone
in the class. This is great handwriting practice. (If you would like a class list, please let me
know!)
***Box Tops – Please continue to collect box tops. The deadline for this contest is Friday,
February 19th. Bags need to be labeled with grade level, or ‘Lake.’ Remember that each top
collected is worth 10 cents each!!
***Five Points of Life Marathon- The annual Five Points of Life Kids’ Marathon will be held on
Saturday, February 20th.
*** Parent Night - This is just a friendly reminder that this months’ parent night is on
WEDNESDAY, February 24th. This month’s topic is ‘Parental Support for Student Success in
School.’
**School Days’ – Please ask your children about this past week’s activities: Our word of the
week is understanding (WOW). Math: How many sides and vertices does a trapezoid have?
What is special about February this year? What is your favorite part of Music class? PE?
