As we welcome the month of May I have decided to run a weekly raffle to
celebrate taking care of yourself mentally and physically. Every Friday in
May I will draw four names to win a special prize from my office. All you
have to do is stop by the office and complete a short survey noting how you
took care of your self during the week. Examples might be that you read a
book for enjoyment, played your instrument for enjoyment, played a sport,
or simply took a walk. We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of the
importance of being your best! To be at your best, means finding time to
relax. Thank you and good luck! Ms. Markofski

The high school football parent meeting has been rescheduled due to the
conflict with 8th grade graduation. It will now be held on Wednesday, May
30, at 5:30pm at the high school.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! When you or someone you love is
dealing with a mental health concern, sometimes it is a lot to handle. It
is important to remember that mental health is essential to everyone’s
overall health and well-being, and mental illnesses are common and
treatable. So much of what we do physically affects us mentally. That is
why this year’s theme for May is Mental Health Month – Fitness #4Mind4Body
– is a call to pay attention to both your physical health and your mental
health, which can help achieve overall wellness and set you on a path to
recovery. May is Mental Health Month was started 69 years ago by Mental
Health America to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the
importance of good mental health for everyone. This May we are focused on
how a healthy lifestyle may help prevent the onset or worsening of mental
health conditions, as well as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other
chronic health problems. It can also help people recover from these
conditions. Eating healthy foods, managing stress, exercising, and getting
enough sleep can go a long way in making you both physically and mentally
healthy. Each day during the month of May, Mental Health America will post
a challenge on our website atwww.mentalhealthamerica.net/challenge and on
our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. Each daily challenge will be
designed to take relatively little time, and be accessible to individuals
no matter their level of physical fitness of where they are on their mental
health journey.

PLEASE BRING A BASKETBALL FOR YOUR SON/DAUGHTER TO USE

Will focus on developing players’ overall physical and mental skills
through teaching fundamentals and drill work. Skill development will
include ball handling, shooting, scoring moves, footwork, finishing around
the basket, and defense. We will also focus on intangible aspects of the
game from our experiences as college and professional basketball players
including: hard work, perseverance, leadership, toughness,
teamwork, aggressiveness, and academics. We believe spring and summer is
the most important time of the year for individual improvement so we hope
this can be a great start to the offseason and give them drills to work on.

​This will not be a camp where we roll the balls out and let them play 5v5.
Kids play enough 5v5 in practice, open gyms, AAU, etc.. We want the kids
getting in the gym to focus on individual skill development in a hard
working, fun, and competitive environment.

​Having the privilege to work with University of Wisconsin coaches, NBA
coaches/trainers, and European professional coaches, there are many skills
and drills I have been able to learn to improve as a player. The consistent
theme will always be the fundamentals and little details to improve
individual and team performance on both ends of the court.

​Instruction will be provided by:

*​Josh Gasser*: Former Wisconsin Badger & European Professional

Among other coaches

*Health Tip:*

As summer approaches we fill our calendars with fun, vacations, relaxations
and appointments. As we close the current school year and prepare for the
2018-2019 school year please make time to get all the necessary
appointments done ahead of time.

Doctors visits: physicals, Immunizations, medication forms, etc

Dental visits: see your family dentist *or *fill out paperwork to
participate in the School Dental Program we offer here at school.

Vision: be on the lookout for squinting, complaints about blurry vision,
headaches, worsening performance at school, short attention span, losing
one’s place when reading, avoidance with reading, and turning head from
side to side when looking at something.

Take time to schedule these appointments ahead of time to avoid the rush
and stress at the beginning of a school year. We want your children at
school, ready to learn. Please contact your school nurses if you have any
questions or need help finding access to care.
