Physical
Wellness News
And we’re off! Another great year at Southmoor has
begun. I look forward too many healthy
connections with your child.
Franklin P. Adams, an American columnist,
once said “Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of
the year”.
I look forward to creating experiences in
class that instill the skills, knowledge and desire in your child to live well!
-100-Mile
Club
We’re
getting a fantastic start with close to 100 joggers signed up so far! The track is packed with students and
parents. It’s a fantastic sight! Being active in the
morning is a great way to get your mind and body ready for the day.
If
you can spare some time to help with handing out popsicle sticks, that assist
students in tracking laps, please drop by any morning.
Also,
I’m in need of a parent, or two, that can lead the club on Tuesdays, due to
morning staff & committee meetings.
This
Friday, September 14th, we will have our first theme day! Southmoor parent Melissa Trujillo has
organized a Kickoff event. All
joggers will get a temporary football tattoo and all participants are invited
to wear a sport team, Southmoor or other shirt favorite shirt.
We
will try to have a theme day every other Friday.
-Appropriate
Footwear
Please
send your child to school every day
with shoes appropriate for safe and efficient movement on the playground and in
the gym.
It is common for students who incur injuries
to be wearing inappropriate footwear.
Sandals,
crocks and boots inhibit a child’s ability to travel safely and give their best
effort.
-Healthy Celebrations
If
you are planning to bring treats to school for a Holiday celebration or
birthday, please consider providing a health food choice.
A
healthy celebration helps kids learn better, provides consistent messages,
promotes a healthy school environment,
creates
excitement about nutrition and protects children with food allergies.
-SPARK Curriculum
The
main curriculum resource I draw from is The Sports, Play, & Active
Recreation for Kids program (SPARK).
The
SPARK program was initially funded by the Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of
the National Institutes of Health, to help reduce
cardiovascular
disease risk factors (e.g., obesity, high blood pressure, sedentary lifestyle)
that often begin in childhood. The
SPARK program is designed to involve all children, be more active, incorporate
social skills, and emphasize health-related fitness and skill development.
Live Well,
Joseph Bazzanella

Dollar-a-Day!
We are excited to launch our 2018/2019
Dollar-a-Day campaign!
With your support we hope to meet our goal
of $20,000, all of which goes to fund grants submitted by our
teachers.
And if we meet our goal this
fall we are planning to skip the mid-year fundraiser.
By the way, have you noticed we don't ask
your kids to walk the neighborhood selling wrapping paper and butter
braids?
That is possible because of this
initiative! Help us get it done!
We ask our families to consider
contributing $1 per each school day of the year (or $180) per student. Of course we welcome any level of support
as well as donations from extended family, friends, neighbors, etc. It's an easy way to support our great
school! There are two ways to donate. Simply click here to make a
contribution online or set up a recurring payment.
You can also drop off a check at
school. There will be a drop off table set up after school each day this
week or you can drop off checks in your child's classroom or in the main
office.
If you have any questions please email PTO
President Suzy Stone (suzystone2002@yahoo.com)
or PTO Fundraising Chair Kim Miller (kmiller80237@gmail.com).
Thank you in advance for your
support!
