Meals include a sandwich, fruit or vegetable, a snack and a drink. We encourage students to participate and we are so fortunate to have this very important program!

Walking Contest Results for 5th Week





Bright Beginnings easily won the Golden Shoe Award for the 5th week of the walking contest. The kindergarteners had almost double the miles of the next highest mileage team. Looking over the tally sheets it is clear that the Bright Beginnings learning community did a lot of laps around the walking path, especially Mrs Walsh's group. Congratulations.
