St. Jude's Trike-A-Thon Today!


Today the children are participating in the St. Jude's Trike-A-Thon. Trike-A-Thon is a fun, week-long safety curriculum and fundraising program that supports St. Jude. The program is a great way to teach children valuable riding-toy safety lessons, which they learn from Bikewell Bear® and Pedals the Bunny® through educational materials provided by St. Jude. At the end of the week, children bring their riding-toys to school to celebrate the lessons they have learned and their fundraising success for St. Jude. It is a very valuable lesson that the children will always remember!

Happy World Health Day!


In 1948, the World Health Organization held the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7th April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is celebrated to create "awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization (WHO)". Activities - related to that particular theme and the resources provided - continue beyond 7th April.

The Children will be learning about the importance of being healthy, and will go over different ideas as far as keeping our planet healthy as well.

One Day Without Shoes


One Day Without Shoes is an annual event hosted by TOMS Shoes in which students, friends, parents, strangers, and co-workers host or participate in events without shoes. Some go without shoes for an hour, some for the whole day, but all become a part of a greater movement toward change. The children will be wearing socks today to experience what it's like to be without shoes, gaining a better appreciation of what they have, and how they can help others!
