Did you know CES students were challenged by Mr.Thake to NOT drink soda this month? Kids consume enough sugary drinks each year to fill a bathtub! Most of the added sugar in our diets comes from what we drink, not what we eat. It's time to rethink your drink! Let's encourage our kids and challenge ourselves to take charge of our heart health! ❤
Fourth grade started with the ukuleles this month, and they are loving it!
