We have finished our NWEA assessments. Thank you to all of the parents who sent in snacks or drinks. I am very proud of our students who took their time and focused.

Our second and third graders were able to go see “Dinosaurs Unearthed” at the Portland Science Center yesterday. They had a great time!

Our fourth graders will begin learning to ski next week at the Camden Ski Bowl with their gym class. They will be leaving at 9:15 and returning to school around 12. Please be sure to bring warm winter gear!

“Sugar-Out Day” is

February 10, 2017

Dear  Parents,  

  February   is   “   National   Children’s   Dental   Health   Month,”   and  RSU  40  is  acknowledging  February  10,  2017  as  “Sugar-­‐Out  Day”.  

  Your   child’s   school   lunch   program  will   not   be   serving   sugary  foods   on   “Sugar-­‐Out  Day”.    We   are   asking   you   to   help   by   being   sure  your  child  brings  a  non-­‐sugary  snack  and/or  lunch  to  school  on  “Sugar-­‐Out   Day”.    Why   not   join   your   child   in   observing   “Sugar-­‐Out  Day”   by  giving  up  sugary  foods  too?  

  Dental  disease  is  a  costly  health  problem  in  Maine.    Tooth  decay  is  preventable.    One  step  in  breaking  the  chain  of  decay  is  to  cut  down  on  the  amount  of  sugary  foods  and  drinks  your  family  consumes.    Sugar  mixes  with   the   germs   in   your  mouth   to   form   an   acid.     The   acid   eats  away   your   teeth.   If   “acid-­‐attacks”   happen   too   often,   the   teeth   are  weakened  and  cavities  start.  

  There  are  many   foods  we  eat  daily   that  have   “hidden”   sugars.    These   sugars   include   honey,   molasses,   corn   syrup,   dextrose,   fructose,  and  sucrose.     It  may  be  hard  to  change  your  eating  habits  by  choosing  foods  and  drinks  without  sugar;  however,  you  can  read  food  labels  and  replace  sweet,  sticky,  starchy  snacks  such  as  candy,  raisins,  potato  chips  and   soda  with   fresh   and   canned   fruits   (without   heavy,   sugary   syrup),  vegetables,  popcorn,  cheese  and  yogurt.    Most  children  like  these  foods  and  they  make  great  low  sugar  snacks  to  take  to  school  too!  

  Thank  you   for   your  help   and   support   for   a   brighter,   healthier  smile  for  life!!  

Sincerely,  

RSU  40  School  Health  Services  

MSBA  Update  With  only  two  months  before  students  must  read  5  books  to  be  eligible  to  vote  for  their  favorite  Maine  State  Book  Award,  the  numbers  are  climbing  on  our reading  graph  in  the  library.  Kendra  in  5th  grade  has  read  10  books.  It  seems  as  though  she  may  set  a  record  for  the  most  books  read.  Go  Kendra!    All  students  deserve  special  recognition  for  participating  in  this  wonderful  annual  reading  opportunity.  We’ve  still  weeks  and  books  to  go!  READ  ON!  Mrs.  Wiegleb
