Let’s RAVE!
Repeat these things to your friends and neighbors!
DID YOU KNOW? That Co-Principal Nancy Goebel organizes our ‘card’ project at Christmas and Valentine’s Day? Our students send hand made cards to parish seniors. Here is just one of the responses received recently…
“Just want to let you know what a wonderful school you have. We have been blessed to be the recipients of Christmas cards and now a Valentine's day card from the school children. When we first received it we were very surprised. The artwork and messages enclosed are priceless. Please convey our thanks for all their hard work - it certainly doesn't go unappreciated. Gene and Valerie Benninger”

Nutrition from the Ground UpMarch is National Nutrition Month®, a time for reinforcing healthy and nutritious eating habits. The 2010 theme is “Nutrition from the Ground Up” — a return to basics. “Nutrition from the Ground Up” means choosing more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans to create a healthful eating plan. Current guidelines call for eating at least three whole grain servings per day where a serving is one slice of bread or ½ cup of pasta. For fruits, guideline varies with age and activity. An average amount is 2 cups per day or 2 pieces of fruit. When it comes to vegetables 2½ cups of vegetables per day is the minimum for most adults. If your whole grain, fruit and vegetable consumption is lagging behind, use this month to build your “Nutrition from the Ground Up.” Visit the National Nutrition Month page on the American Dietetic Association website at www.eatright.org/nnm for more information. If you are a blogger, there are instructions on how to add the National Nutrition Month widget to your blogspot!
