Welcome Spring – Stay Active!

Longer days mean more opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity. Encourage your child to:

• Run, jump, or play outside daily

• Stretch or do fun movement activities at home

• Limit screen time to balance activity and rest

Being active helps hearts, muscles, and minds stay strong!

Allergy Awareness

Spring can bring seasonal allergies. Common symptoms include itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, or coughing. If your child has allergies, make sure:

• Allergy medication is taken at home in the morning if needed 

• Your child knows how to manage symptoms

• The nurse is aware of any changes in their condition

Nutrition Focus – Healthy Snacks

March is a great time to encourage brain-boosting snacks:

• Fruits like apples, oranges, or berries

• Veggies with hummus or yogurt dip

• Whole grain crackers or granola

• Water instead of sugary drinks

Healthy snacks help students focus and stay energized in the classroom.

Hygiene Reminder

Good hygiene habits are important year-round:

• Brush teeth twice a day

• Wash hands before eating and after using the restroom

• Bathe regularly
