Girls on the Run 5K

CONGRATULATIONS to our girls on a successful inaugural GOTR season and a race well done!

Red Nose Day

It is almost Red Nose Day - Red Nose Day??? What is that? I'm glad you asked! One of our very own

student council representatives and 4th grade student, Evie proposed the idea to have Red Nose Day

here at Blue Oaks.

Red Nose Day is on Thursday, May 24. Red Nose Day was started by the Comic Relief Foundation and

Walgreens to help raise money for children in poverty in the United States. The proceeds go to children

and families living in poverty to buy food, clothing and healthcare.

Blue Oaks began selling the Red Noses for $1 during Open House and will continue to sell during recess

until they are all gone (hopefully!) for students to purchase and participate in Red Nose Day. Every dollar

will go towards the foundation. Here is a link to the website that tells you more about it. If they are not

able to buy a Red Nose the students are encouraged to wear red to help raise awareness.

Weekly Housekeeping Suggestions & Tips / Lunch Procedures

Kindergarten through fifth grade students will eat lunch in the "Bears' Lair" multi-use room. Students may

bring lunch or purchase a school lunch. Students may pay for their lunches on a daily basis as they go

through the lunch line. However, prepaid lunch passes are preferable. Students whose accounts are

severely overdrawn may result in that student only being allowed to obtain food from the salad bar until

the balance is paid.

When visiting to eat lunch with your child, please, please only bring food for you and your child.

Students are not allowed to eat food provided by adults other than their parent/guardian unless

written permission has been provided. Upon written permission being provided from each child,

a maximum of two students may eat outside of the cafeteria as a guest of a parent.

If you have any questions please contact the school office directly or click here to review our

Parent/Student Handbook. Thank you.
