Dear Parents,

We want to use good health practices and prevent the spreading of germs as much as possible. One way we can do this is by using water bottles rather than drinking after one another at the water fountain. If everyone would bring a water bottle filled with water this would help. The water bottle can either be a disposable one or one your child can take home and wash each day. In the home, the basic rule is to wash hands before preparing food and after handling uncooked meat and poultry, before eating, after changing diapers, after coughing, sneezing, or blowing one's nose into a tissue, and after using the bathroom. Simple things like these can make a difference in all our lives. Let’s work together to stay healthy this year.

How Much Sleep Do You Need?

The sleep requirements for each person depend on many factors, including age. In general

· Infants require about 16 hours a day

· Children need 10-12 hours

· Teenagers need about 9 hours

However, experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day you haven't had enough sleep.

Too little sleep may cause

· Memory problems

· Impairment of learning

· A weakening of your immune system, increasing your chance of becoming sick

Ballet girls will need to bring their dance clothes and shoes to change into for dance. Talk to Mrs. Bedford about what these girls need for clothing. Each girl enrolled in beginning ballet will need to have a booster car seat that remains at the school to be used when transporting her to dance.
