    Attention Parents
    Is your child carrying
    20-30%of their
    body weight in
    their backpack?
    According to
    Change.org (2017),
    it is medically proven
    that children carrying
    more than
    10% of their
    body weight is
    damaging to their spines.
    "Just because you can't
    see theinternal damage,
    doesn't mean
    it isn't happening"
    (Sams, 2017).
     
    Become aware of the
    importance of ensuring 
    that your child is carrying
    no more than
    10% of their weight
    in their backpack.
    for more information.

    hamner heart

     

    While reading the story Chrysanthemum and discussing how she was bullied, Mrs. Hamner crumpled up a big paper heart a little bit.  When the story was over, she tried to smooth it all out but there were still wrinkles in it.  It would never be the same as it was in the beginning.  The students then signed bandaids to show that they would always try to heal the hurts that someone else caused and do their part in the fight against bullying!

    Way to go Mrs. Hamner's Class!

    No Bully
