Book Orders: October 8

Book order catalogs from Scholastic will came home Monday. They will be due back on October 8. You can preview the available books or order early online by going to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs and typing in our special class-code at GVM96. Online orders also earn free books for the classroom so I encourage you to order online if you can.

Fruits and Vegetables

Glacier Valley has received a grant to distribute a daily fruit and vegetable snack to students for the 2012 - 2013 school year. We hope that GV students will learn how to eat better and will discover new foods that they can enjoy throughout their lives. Students can bring their own snack or enjoy the one we provide.

Water Water Water

Recent studies say that students need more water for their brains to work. Hydration is key to student success. So, this month our class is experimenting with having water-bottles full-time on our desks. With better water access, we are hoping for better learning.
