Subscriptions Fair Lawn News Spring 2003 December 2002 - January 2003 Edition Cough! Sputter! Sneeze! by Mrs. Ann Lustgarten , Fifth Grade Teacher at the Radburn School It's that time of year again and the problem once again arises in many homes in the morning. What do we do with a sick child? It's not only a problem for the poor sick child, but also for the parent who has to juggle his or her schedule, the classmates who get exposed to 'whatever' and the teacher who has to stay well to teach the others. What options do parents have? When should the options be put in place? When can you send the child and when MUST they stay home? It's tough; very tough! Parents should put a plan carefully into place well before the situation arises, perhaps even before school begins. Is there a parent who can take time off from work? Is there a grandparent who is willing to step in? (Think carefully here because older people are often more susceptible to illness.) Is there a close non-working friend with whom you can make an 'official' arrangement? What about an available adult babysitter?

BigTen.org: 20 Simple Ways To Get Girls Involved In Sports Girls who play all sports come together to teach each other about the sports teamsshow off their skills during inschool assemblies or during pta/pto meetings http://www.bigten.org/PressReleases/20011129/dreambig-20ways.cfm
Extractions: When girls are involved in sports at an early age, they are more likely to stay involved in athletics in their adult life. Here are some ideas to give girls an opportunity to try new sports or to get involved for the very first time. Invite high school girl athletes to come to the elementary school, park or church to give a clinic. Get the parents involved. Send out flyers about youth athletic associations (Little League softball/baseball, soccer, field hockey). Start a Big Sister/Little Sister Athletic Club that pairs an older girl with a younger girl. The older athlete can bring the young girl to a practice, attend sporting events with her, practice drills and teach her the basics of one or more sports. Hold a school-wide Olympics based on girls moving from station to station learning the basics of several different sports. This gives girls an opportunity to try a new skill in the safety of a fun, group-oriented event. Take a class or team to a high school/college/professional women's basketball, soccer or volleyball game. Afterward, go out for pizza or sandwiches and encourage the girls to talk about what they think it's like to be a female athlete. What are the challenges? What are the rewards? What do you have to do to succeed?

Extractions: Participating... This is a class to class exchange. Decide which grade category will best meet the needs and interests of your class. You may register (separately) for as many categories as you wish. The project is free of charge and open to all learning groups in the world. However, join only if you have a serious desire to participate and a commitment to complete your project obligation. If, in spite of your best intentions, you are unable to continue with the project, PLEASE inform the moderator and other participants through the PCG mailing list . Do NOT simply "drop out". Preparing... Obtain a supply of postcards and stamps (if you make your own, be sure they clearly describe your community in pictures and words). You can purchase your own or find donated cards from local business and civic organizations, local Chamber of Commerce, PTA/PTO, parents. Decide how you will display postcards and maps used in the project. Bulletin boards, scrapbooks, web pages....the sky is the limit!

Extractions: What are the best things a principal can do to cultivate a family-friendly school environment that enriches learning for all students and makes the school a place where families feel welcome and valued? Here's a "top ten" list of family-school partnership practices that principals say really works for them: The Committee or Action Team Convene a team of parents, teachers, community representatives, and the principal to develop and coordinate partnership plans and activities. Include PTA/PTO representatives and family members from all sectors of your school population. Start by assessing how your school presently reaches out to families, then survey parents and teachers to find out what areas they think the school needs to address. Give committee members responsibility for coordinating projects to create ownership in family-school partnerships and to ease the principal's burden. Volunteering Recruit parents, senior citizens, and other students to volunteer. Make it possible for everyone to volunteer in some way at school, home, or school events. Survey parents to find out their special hobbies or interests, then act upon the information contained in those surveys! Appoint a volunteer coordinator to survey school staff, and oversee the training and scheduling of volunteers. Don't forget to recognize volunteers' contributions. Family Learning Opportunities Family Math, Family Science, Family Tools and Technology, and other family learning programs are an excellent way to encourage parents, guardians, and children to learn together in planned, meaningful activities. Families work cooperatively, reasoning and thinking logically to solve problems. Facilitators can usually be obtained through CESAs or university staff. Get fathers on board by offering some opportunities tailored for them to learn with children.

Extractions: PTA Newsletter From The PTO FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Parents and Students of ACRMS, If you have been to the back of our school, I am sure you have noticed the bank and our softball and baseball fields. They were so overgrown with briars, ivy, weeds, etc... that we were gradually losing our fields. Mr. Sam Banks organized parents and students to clean up these areas. They spent several weekends and numerous hours clearing this growth. Thank you so much to the following parents, students, and coaches: Sam Banks and his sons; Lewis and Barbara Slagle and their son; Renee and James Simmons and their son ; James Brown and his son; Ron Durner and his son; Terry Duckworth and his sons; Boyce Fortner and his sons; Lenny Van Waters and his son; Wendell Howard; Tim McLaughlin; Steve Ledford; Ricky Warren; Brian Robinson; and Dean Slagle. The office has started collecting "Box Tops for Education." This will earn money for the office for supplies and equipment. We are also collecting used printer cartridges. These can be sent in and we will be able to collect money, which we will also use for supplies and equipment. As you collect any of the above, please send them to Mrs. Mills in the main office. Thank you in advance for your help. School will be closed March 29 - April 5 for spring break. If we miss no more unscheduled days of school, the last student day will be Friday, May 24. This means we have 55 days of school remaining. This year has flown by - the construction has gone well and is scheduled to be completed by July 1. The new lighting, paint, heating, air conditioning and windows will make this learning environment much more pleasant. Thank you for your patience during this year. It will be worth it!

Extractions: Back to the Newsletter Page Pleasant Ridge PTA March Newsletter PTA EXECUTIVE BOARD President Vice Pres Secretary Treasurer Submitting Items for the PTA Newsletter The PTA encourages the submission of articles from all Pleasant Ridge students and parents. Please submit materials by the second Monday of each month. Articles may be placed in the PTA newsletter box in the school office, or e-mailed to: murphdb@aol.com PTA Newsletter Staff click on murphdb@aol.com From the PTA President... With spring just around the corner (at least we can hope!), I want to thank everyone for their great response concerning student drop-off/pick-up, and parking at Pleasant Ridge. The school and PTA volunteers have been putting your ideas to work to assure that the process continues to provide the students with a safe means to and from school. As the weather continues to get warmer, more students will be riding bikes and walking to school, and we all need to be aware of their safety. Not only is the month of March National Reading month, it is also Parenting Awareness month, which is a statewide campaign to promote awareness and educate families in all areas of parenting and to provide helpful resources to parents as well. It is also a time to emphasize the importance of effective parenting in order to help children achieve their goals, and to become caring citizens in the community. Our school counselor, Mary Gallagher, has a library of books and videos on a variety of parenting topics available for parents to check out.
