them too!
*The first dance of the year *for all middle school students will be held on

dance that Friday afternoon.

*From the Nurse *
Have you weighed your back pack lately? It should be no more than 10% of
your body weight! Heavy back packs can lead to muscle strain and neck,
shoulder, or back pain. To minimize pain and injury you should:
· Carry only what you need
· Purchase book bags with waist belts or even better get one with
wheels
· Always use both straps to more evenly distribute the weight
· Weigh your back pack and figure out the percentage
