director_rainbowkids@excel.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n*Just a reminder to save those soda tabs!* There will be a collection
\nlater in the school year.<\/p>\n
Due to a scheduling conflict, the Elementary School gym is not available
\non Dec. 16th for the 7th grade basketball games. We have decided that all
\n4 games will be held here at the Middle School with the following schedule:<\/p>\n
3:30 – 7th B team<\/p>\n
4:30 – 7th A team<\/p>\n
5:30 – 8th B team<\/p>\n
6:30 – 8th A team<\/p>\n
Due to all games being played at the elementary school, *concessions for
\nthe Dec. 11basketball game have been cancelled.* Charlie L., Mercedes R.,
\nand Teresa, thank you for signing up to help, but we won’t need you that
\nnight.<\/p>\n
**The Sheboygan Falls Varsity Dance Team will be holding a Dance Mini-Camp
\non the afternoon of Thursday, January 8. Girls will learn a routine and
\nperform at the JV basketball halftime that night. The cost is $25 in
\nadvance or $30 at the door and includes a T-shirt, Poms, and Dinner!
\nRegistration forms have been sent home and additional forms are available
\nin the office. Forms must be returned to the school office by Friday,
\nDecember 19 to receive the discounted price.* *<\/p>\n
*Good Teen Hygiene*<\/p>\n
*Showering.* “Most elementary school kids don’t shower every day, and they
\ndon’t need to,” says Tanya Remer Altmann, MD*, *a pediatrician and author
\nof *Mommy Calls* and *The Wonder Years.* But she says that once puberty
\nhits, daily showering becomes essential. Use a mild soap and concentrate on
\nthe face, hands, feet, underarms, groin and bottom. Washing under the
\nfingernails is key, too.<\/p>\n
*Washing hair.* Some teens may prefer to skip days to prevent their hair
\nfrom drying out. Others may want to wash their hair daily — especially if
\nthey have oily hair, which can both look greasy and aggravate acne.<\/p>\n
*Using deodorant or antiperspirant.* Kids have always had plenty of working
\nsweat glands. But when puberty hits, the glands become more active and the
\nchemical composition of the sweat changes, causing it to smell stronger.
\nWhen you (or others) begin to notice it, using deodorant or an
\nantiperspirant should become part of your daily hygiene.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that many self-conscious teens have a skewed perception of how
\nmuch they’re sweating. “I see a lot of teens who are convinced that they’re
\nsweating a lot more than all their friends, even though they’re perfectly
\nnormal,” says Altmann.<\/p>\n
*Changing clothes.* Before puberty, kids might have gotten away with
\nwearing the same shirt — or even the same underwear and same socks — day
\nafter day without anyone noticing. After puberty, that won’t fly. Along
\nwith showering, wearing clean clothes each day is an important part of teen
\nhygiene.<\/p>\n
*Maintaining good oral health.* Teens can get pretty lax about their oral
\nhygiene. But brushing and flossing are crucial, especially if they’re
\ndrinking coffee and sugary, acidic sodas and sports drinks. It’s not only
\nabout tooth decay. Bad oral hygiene leads to bad breath — and that’s
\nsomething that no teen wants, Altmann tells WebMD.<\/p>\n
*The Nutcracker fieldtrip is \u201cFull\u201d at this time.*<\/p>\n
“Students – please remember to keep yourself safe and never walk across
\nice, especially in River Park, when walking to and from school.” ~Thank

*Wellness Tip*<\/p>\n
What you drink is as important as what you eat. Many beverages contain
\nadded sugars and offer little or no nutrients, while others may provide
\nnutrients but too much fat and too many calories. Check food labels for
\nadded sugar and calories! Water is best!!<\/p>\n
