STRONG Day #2
On Tuesday, January 30, we hosted our second STRONG Day of the year. Our 6th graders were led by our WEB leaders on study habits. Our 7th Grade Character STRONG session explored emotions, and our 8th Grade service learning poured into our Larson community with wellness posters.
Some of the wellness posters created our 8th graders during STRONG Day
Wellness Week
During the week of January 30 Larson celebrated Wellness Week! The focus was on how we can take care of different aspects of our well-being. We had open gyms to take care of our physical well-being. A Calming Room and Therapy Dogs at lunch and morning Yoga to take care of our mental well-being. The week culminated with a Red-Out spirit day for heart awarenesss and a hands-only CPR event during all three lunches. Students were provided information on steps to adminster hands-only CPR and then were invited to practice the skills using manequins that our PE Department earned by applying for a grant through the American Heart Association (AHA). Participation was tremendous and we had nearly half of our students practice this life-saving skill! The AHA worked with our TSD communications department to get local media coverage, and Fox 2 came to cover the event!
Lost and Found!
There are MANY, MANY items in the Larson Lost and Found. Please encourage your student to take a look and see if anything belongs to them.
