Any seventh and eighth grade students interested in Track and Field should
sign up in the office starting March 6th. Track and Field is a great way to
learn how to compete while you improve speed, strength, and endurance while
having a great time with friends and teammates. Everyone
participates–there is no bench in Track and Field! Practice starts on April
3rd (the first day after break), and meets begin April 16. All athletes
need to have paperwork completed (athletic code, concussion form, physical)
and fees turned in before the first practice to participate. There is a
parent meeting at 5pm on April 3rd in the gym. If you have any questions
about the forms, please ask in the middle school office.
Music In Our Schools Month® or “MIOSM®” is the National Association for
Music Education’s annual celebration during March which engages music
educators, students, and communities from around the country in promoting
the benefits of high quality music education programs in schools. Music In
Our Schools Month® began as a single statewide Advocacy Day and celebration
in New York in 1973 and grew over the decades to become a month-long
celebration of school music in 1985.
To show our support we will feature a music “quote of the day” in the daily
announcements. We also encourage students to wear shirts that promote
music. “Music Mondays” will be our big day but feel free to show your
support for music any/all days of the week.
“Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart
opens.”

*Health Tip:*
Dental Health
Did you know that it takes 24 hours for bacteria in your mouth to form a
sticky film called plaque. If plaque is not removed with proper brushing
and flossing it coats your teeth and becomes tartar. Tartar can only be
removed by your dentist or hygienist. If you do not have the tartar removed
your jaw bone starts to dissolve and your teeth can fall out. Keep your
teeth by daily brushing and flossing! Make regular appointments with your
dentist or contact your school nurse and take advantage of Lakeshore
Health’s Dental clinic that comes right to our schools and is going on
right now!
