The<br \/>\nminerals and vitamins help round out a healthy diet by protecting against<br \/>\ndisease while helping to maintain metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>5) Keep it in Perspective<\/p>\n<p>               The % DV (Daily Value) is the percent of each nutrient in a<br \/>\nsingle serving in terms of the daily recommended amount, based upon<br \/>\nconsuming 2000 calories daily. Without this clue the rest of the numbers<br \/>\nmight not help that much as it can be hard to remember the recommendations<br \/>\non the average amounts a person should consume.<\/p>\n<p>*APRIL*<\/p>\n<p>10                    Jazz Concert \u2013 MS\/HS Jazz Ensembles \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013 HS<br \/>\nAuditorium<\/p>\n<p>13-17               No School<\/p>\n<p>20                    Birds of Prey \u2013 6th grade \u2013 12:05 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>*MAY*<\/p>\n<p> 5                     Mid-Quarter Grades Due at 3:45 p.m.<\/p>\n<p> 8                     6-8 Bands Dress Rehearsal \u2013 7:55-9:45 a.m. \u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>                        6-8 Bands Spring Concert \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>12                    8th Grade Art fieldtrip to Milwaukee Art Museum \u2013<br \/>\n8:30 \u2013 2:30 pm<\/p>\n<p>                        Social Skills Outing to Blue Harbor \u2013 9:30 a.m. \u2013<br \/>\n2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>15                    6-8 Chorus Dress Rehearsal \u2013 7:55-9:45 \u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>                        6-8 Chorus Spring Concert \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>16                    6th Grade to the Marsh<\/p>\n<p>18                    6th Grade to the Marsh<\/p>\n<p>19                    6th Grade to the Marsh<\/p>\n<p>Jazz in the Park \u2013 MS\/HS Jazz Ensembles \u2013 Settlers\u2019 Park<\/p>\n<p>22                    6th Grade to the Marsh<\/p>\n<p>23                    6th Grade to the Marsh<\/p>\n<p>24                    8th Grade Band \u2013 Band Festival at the Kalahari<\/p>\n<p>25                    6th Grade of the Marsh<\/p>\n<p>26                    No School<\/p>\n<p>30                    5th Grade Band Parent Meeting \u2013 6:30 p.m. \u2013 MS<br \/>\nAuditorium<\/p>\n<p>*JUNE*<\/p>\n<p> 6         8th Grade Recognition \u2013 HS Auditorium<\/p>\n<p> 7         8th Grade Trip<\/p>\n<p> 8         Last day for students grades 5-7 (Early Release 11:10 a.m.)\/8th<br \/>\nGrade No School<\/p>\n<p>Grades Due at 3:45 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Sheboygan Falls Middle School* *Student Announcements* *4\/06\/2017* *\u201cB\u201d* *8th Grade Parents:* *On April 21st students will be going to River Park following Forward Testing.
