Children who are going in for surgery or other procedures are able to choose a flavor and coat the inside of their plastic mask so it does not smell so bad. Many kids have a hard time with the smell of the meds that help them sleep during surgery. The Chap Stick helps to cover that smell. Please help by purchasing NEW, flavored Chap Stick and put it in the GIRL or BOY collection bin. NEW this year and Boy vs. Girl challenge!

READ AND SOAR PROGRAM   ~  Info coming home from PTO
The PTO sponsored Read and SOAR reading program will starting on  January 13 and runs through February 28th . This program encourages reading and students will need to complete reading logs, so that they qualify to participate in the Read and SOAR activities for March.  We cannot stress enough how important reading with or to your child(ren) is.  Why read at home? Just 20 minutes per day makes a huge difference. Studies show that a student who treads 20 minutes per day will likely score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests.  A student who reads 5 minutes per day will likely score in the 50th percentile and a student who reads only 1 minute a day will likely score in the 10th percentile on standardized tests.  Not only will this benefit your child academically, but it is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your son or daughter!
