Just a few odds and ends...
1. The field trip is still on for tomorrow even if we have a little rain. If the forecast is for heavy rain, it will be canceled.

We will be eating lunch at the Cold Harbor Battle field at about 11:30.
2. Reading Benchmark test is April 12th

SCA Reps/Alternates passed along the word about Hats On day this Friday, April 1st - We will be collecting money for the Relief Fund for Japan through Save the Children. It will be a Foolish Hat day to celebrate April Fools' Day.
WOW! We filled up the bucket for the first time last week, and have at least 1/3 of the bucket filled again. GREAT JOB! The more times we fill the bucket, the better the chances that we could win a trophy for the school and a gift card for the school. SO KEEP THOSE BOTTLE CAPS COMING!

Eagle Cam
Today in class we checked on the pair of eagles that are laying eggs in a nest in Norfolk. What I did not realize is that 1 egg was laid on Thur. and that they expect another to be laid this weekend. Here is the address. This is a great family project. Last year she laid 3 eggs!

contest
Here is a contest that I thought you all might want to enter. Please follow the guidlelines. Entries are due to me Mar. 1st. I will scan them and enter them in the contest. Students who enter will receive a coupon. This is a statewide contest, so please take your time and do your best. Good Luck Mrs J
We would like to invite your fourth graders to participate in our 18th annual poster contest – “Use a Helmet, Prevent Epilepsy.” The purpose of the contest is to raise awareness about epilepsy, how it impacts children and to dispel many of the myths surrounding this common condition. This is a fun and educational activity, and we hope you will encourage your fourth grade art classes to participate. This packet contains everything you will need.
Winners of the contest will be invited to spend a day in Richmond. Events will include a breakfast honoring the winners, a special reception with Senators and members of the House of Delegates, and a tour of the State Capitol building. The chosen artwork will become EFVA’s calendar for 2011-2012, and copies will be sent to the teachers and winning children.
Here are some important facts about epilepsy to share with your students and teachers:
Head injury is the largest known cause of epilepsy, especially among young adults.
Approximately one child in every hundred has epilepsy
Although epilepsy can begin at any age, 75% of all seizures begin before age 21.
Medical research shows that helmets can prevent 85% of head injuries to bicyclists.
Each year in the United States about 150 children are killed in bicycle accidents, and about 40,000 children between the ages of 5 and 14 sustain head, face and scalp injuries.
In 1998 there were more than 16,000 head injuries associated with skiing and skateboarding. We estimate more than 7,000 could have been prevented by helmet use.
A growing interest in extreme sports has resulted in significantly more injuries in the last five years.
Our hope is that this poster contest will create a greater awareness of the importance of wearing a helmet during recreational activities. Together we can educate children and teachers about the importance of wearing helmets
