Do you have any old electronics at home that could be recycled? Our ASB is partnering with Mr. Day to host a used electronics drive.

Bring them into us!

Elementary classes will have a drop spot in the office.
Middle and High school classes will compete to bring in the most items!
We are competing with other schools in the county for a chance to get a grant from Lane County Waste Management!
The drive will last until March. Keep an eye out for a specific deadline.

>>>>> C.A.T.C.H Tip of the Month <<<<<

Eat Slowly

Eating slowly is great for weight control at any age. It's a fantastic way to show kids that it takes about 20 minutes for the message that they are full to get from their stomachs to their brains.

As much as we'd love our children to finish their meals in minutes, rather than hours, it's much more important that they learn to slow down and chew their food properly.
