Team Investigators students in Physical Education class with Ms. Wight
The little gym had a halloween theme to it last week. It was most impressive when the regular lights were turned off and children played in the gym illuminated with black lights. Regular lights were needed for the photographs.
For snacks today we have oranges
We all could probably eat more fruits and vegetables. But if forced to choose between whole fruit or a glass of juice, which one seems more healthful?
The general advice is to opt for the fruit, since juices are stripped of the fiber – which most us don't get enough of — in whole fruit. And let's face it: Most juice contains a lot of sugar, which most of us consume too much of.

Trevon and Sebastian Built this Cool Buddy Bench for SACS
The bench's purpose is to reduce loneliness on the playground. Here is how it works. If a child is sitting on it alone, it is a signal to the other kids to ask him or her to play. Check it out next time you have recess.

Trevon, Sebastian and Friends Gave the Bench a Tryout Next to the Playground

The next time you are in the cafeteria be sure to thank the staff for all the hard work they do on your behalf.

An 8-ounce glass of juice has roughly the same amount of energy as two oranges. http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/01/22/378920980/for-more-nutrients-drink-oj-or-eat-an-orange-it-s-not-so-clear-cut
