Did you know that mental health can be improved through physical exercise?  According to Mayo Clinic, depression and anxiety symptoms often improve with exercise!  This happens because exercise releases feel-good endorphins in the brain, and because exercise helps to take your mind off your worries.  Exercise can also help you gain confidence, get more social interaction, and cope with problems in a positive way!  30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times per week can significantly improve depression and anxiety symptoms, but even as little as 10-15 minutes at a time could make a difference.  To learn more, visit THIS LINK. 

The Math Meet Team meets TODAY, Tuesday, May 7th, right after school in Mrs. Fritsch's room until 3:30pm.

The Coding Club meets TODAY, Tuesday, May 7th. right after school until 4:15pm. Don't miss this one since we have a robotics team demonstrating at the meeting!

May will be a busy month on the announcements!  If you’re interested in reading an announcement about Mental Health Awareness Month, Military Appreciation Month, or Asian American Heritage Month, contact Mr. Korb!  Guest announcers are always welcome and appreciated!  

Students - Whether you are walking home, getting picked up or riding your bike, ALWAYS cross at the marked crosswalk. This is where adults are stationed to help you cross Ottawa Ave safely.  Please remember to also use the sidewalk after you have crossed the street.

Drivers - Please be patient as we close out the school year and battle the congestion and increased traffic due to the Bridge work on Hwy 18.  We are all looking forward to this project being completed...hopefully before the end of the school year!

Please remind your student to use the crosswalk and sidewalks.   Please be alert and 
watch for pedestrians and stop for people in crosswalks.

Thanks for working together to make our community safer.
