Kids Heart Challenge

Stillmeadow is proud to partner with the American Heart Association for the Kids Heart Challenge .
 
Through Kids Heart Challenge, kids learn jump rope skills, how their heart works, and how good nutrition and physical activity can help people live longer, healthier lives. 
 
As part of the program, students and families are encouraged to raise money for the American Heart Association. Money raised will be used to help kids with heart-related illnesses.
 
Families can join the Stillmeadow School Fundraising Team online or download the free Kids Heart Challenge mobile app for iPhone or android .
Students Participating in
Hour of Code and Robotics

Over the last few weeks, Stillmeadow students have been coding with Mrs. Nathanson during their weekly media time. Students began with the Hour of Code and are now transitioning to directional and block coding with hands on robotic opportunities.

Mrs. Nathanson has been fortunate enough to receive grants and Donors Choose materials to provide these opportunities for our children. 

Students can continue to code at home by going to the Stillmeadow website . On the top banner, you will see an Hour of Code image that links to the code.org website. 

Happy coding!
