Join the American Heart Association and DEES for No Soda November! To kick off this health-focused challenge, your child's teacher will be sending home two forms about the event. One form shares interesting facts about how much sugar is in different sodas, while the second form is a calendar to help you track the days you go without soda. We hope you’ll join us in encouraging your child to make healthy choices this month!


IT'S NOVEMBER!!!
