Happy Friday everyone!! Today is March 15, 2024, it's an B Day and it's a wonderful day to learn!
Birthdays: Happy Birthday to: Preston Mc.
Today is...NATIONAL SHOE THE WORLD DAY
Each year, National Shoe The World Day on March 15th shines a light on the value of good footwear for millions of people around the world. #NationalShoeTheWorldDay
Each day, over 500 million children, teens, and adults do not have a pair of shoes to wear. Despite the terrain and the climate, they walk barefoot everywhere. Their daily struggle is one we cannot begin to imagine. Living daily without protection on your feet can lead to a lifetime of problems including pain, injury, cuts, sores, infections, parasites. Schools and businesses ban students and customers without shoes. We attach stigmas to people who do not have proper footwear, too. Life without footwear also affects their health, education, and financial well-being. One issue leads to another, creating a never-ending cycle.
Students, Computer Bags are not allowed on the playground during lunch time.

We have a fantastic new communication tool called Rooms.

Rooms also allow messages to be sent back and forth between the school and home! If you have any questions, please email or call Mr. Hoffek
