Aspen Upcoming Dates
Make Sure You Show and Your Brain Will Grow!
Start the School Year on Time!
School starts again on Wednesday, August 9th. It is very important that your child start with their peers on time. The teachers do a lot to knit the class together in the first week and half of school. They teach expectations and protocols. They also do activities that help connect the students in the classroom with each other, the teacher, and the IAs. So start the year strong by being there on day one!
Eat Healthy!
Children need to feed their brains with a healthy diet. They will feel more energized to come to school as well as be more successful! At the grocery store read labels and avoid high sugar, high fat, and high salt foods. Everything in moderation.
Students are growing too. Be sure to provide healthy snacks for between meals. Ideas include cheese sticks, cut up veggies and fruit, and yogurt.
Aspen News in Brief
Book Vending Machine Coming to Aspen
Dear Aspen community,
We are excited to share our project for our Girl scout bronze award. Aspen will be getting a new book vending machine. Never heard of one? It’s like a regular vending machine that just holds kids books. Here is a picture of one that is at Chamisa. The kids and teachers love it!
To purchase this we needed to raise a lot of money. We would like to say thank you Fortis Brown, a local Girl Scout who was working on her Girl Scout gold award, and the Aspen PTO for their very generous donations, which helped make this possible. Our goal is to put the book vending machine in before the start of the new school year.
Ashley McLaughlin and Kaya Wilson, Girl Scout Troop 10074
