This month, we are celebrating National Nutrition Month, an annual campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This year’s theme focuses on how we can fuel our bodies for the future while enjoying the flavors of the present! In this month's Nurse Notes:

• Fuel for the Future
• Nutrition by the Numbers
• "Monster" Energy Bites

Whether you are a student fueling up for a big test, a staff member looking for an afternoon energy boost, or a parent planning family dinners, nutrition is the foundation for success in and out of the classroom. 

We are just days away from Spring Break! There will be no Red Note during this time, our next issue will be published on Sunday, April 12.

Over the break, we encourage you to continue supporting your child’s learning by reading together, practicing math, and exploring learning beyond the classroom.

As we wrap up March is Reading Month next week, please be sure to read the information below so you don’t miss any of the fun activities!
