Great American Scholar Luncheon
Please help us honor our Mabry students who have taken the responsibility to gain a greater sense of patriotism! We need many volunteers to ensure another successful Great American Scholar Luncheon and Program on Friday, February 17th. You can volunteer even if your child did not participate in the program - in fact, we are looking for parents who can miss the program from 12 - 12:30 so that we can clean up from the first lunch and prep for the second lunch. Click here to sign up or contact Heather DePalma at dhdepalma@gmail.com.
Wellness Corner
Along with Valentine's Day, February marks American Heart Month, a great time to commit to a healthy lifestyle and make small changes that can lead to a lifetime of heart health.  Did you know heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women? Check out these tips to get Healthy for Good and be aware of common heart attack warning signs.  Be well.
