Our Classroom Community… Online!
What a wonderful community of learners we have in our classroom this year! I’m so excited to help
our students learn and grow. I have registered our classroom on DonorsChoose.org, an amazing
website where individuals can contribute to public schools. Throughout the year, I will post requests
for resources that will help make your child’s time at school even more engaging, dynamic, and
enriching.
My ProjectMy students are in need of Weighted Slam Balls. The Weighted Slam Balls will provide my students with the opportunity to perform a total body workout. The materials will allow them to have a versatile workout while building muscular strength. Slam Ball workouts are fun, varied and never boring. In addition, the students will be performing explosive movements which use Type 11 muscle fibers which will increase muscle size and definition.
The donations for this project will improve my classroom by providing another station for students in our Fitness Room.The Slam Ball workouts will provide students with powerful workouts which will help them expend more energy and burn more calories in a short amount of time."
The workouts will help students increase muscle mass, which burns calories from fat stores all day long. They will also have the opportunity to strengthen their tendons and ligaments, making the joints tougher and less susceptible to injury.
If you would like to make a donation to my project please click on the link below.

CAFETERIACafeteria Manager: Renee FlaglerContact: [email protected]
Falcon Café:Attention students:Remember to be considerate and pick up your trash for the later lunches so they too can enjoy a clean dining area. Thank you.
An urgent message to parents from the cafeteria,Because of a new policy Food service implemented, we can no longer communicate with your students concerning the balance of their lunch accounts. Unfortunately this has created some very high negatives because we feed our students no matter what their balance. EZSchoolpay is available on the district website and costs nothing to create an account, which allows you to track what your students are spending and to set a low balance alert on your email. Some of you have communicated your having trouble creating accounts. Here are a couple of tips to help if you’re having trouble.1. Make sure your using the same name you registered your student under. For
instance if they are a Jr. or the I, II, or III, or a hyphenated name then you must use that when you go to find your child in the system.
2. Check to make sure you have the right account number. 3. Call your cafeteria manager and he or she can help you by getting in contact with our
EZSchoolpay specialist.4. You can email EZSchoolpay and they will answer your questions as soon as possible
