Mrs. Marshall's 3rd grade class at Peter Woodbury Elementary School and Quinn Hutchins, senior from Bedford High School have forged a special relationship as a result of Read Across America week. Mr. Parker, BHS Athletic Director, brought some of the boys and girls hockey players over to PWS on March 6 so they could read to every class in grades K-3. Each hockey player went into a classroom to read a book and spend time with the students. Quinn made such an impression on the third graders that they wrote him notes thanking him for coming in and drawing him pictures to wish him luck at his championship game. To say Quinn was touched by what he got from them is an understatement. He took time to create a small surprise unique to each student in Mrs. Marshall's class. Quinn hand wrote a note to every student, being sure to reference something from their letter. For example, "I really liked your hockey stick drawing", "the BHS hockey socks and paws all over the card

Students have started the Kids Heart Challenge program during their PE class. This was formerly known as Jump Rope for Heart. During this challenge students learn: the important of developing heart-healthy habits being physically active can be fun and when you raise funds to support research and education you help save lives across the country and in the community. Fundraising is optional but everyone will be having fun and be active jumping rope during their regularly-scheduled PE class.  In order to fundraise for this cause you will head to  http://american.heart.org/kidsheartchallenge/ and set up a fundraising page for your child. The first step in setting up your child's page is to enter the name of the school. Please enter our school name as Peter Woodbury Elementary School. Any other search will not yield our school as an option.  Students are already jumping and having fun being heart healthy in PE class. Any fundraising needs to be completed by March 29th. 

Evening Q&A with Dr. Dawn Huebner: Join us for a 90-minute Q&A on Wednesday, March 13th at 6:30pm at McKelvie Intermediate School with Dr. Dawn Huebner, nationally recognized Psychologist, Parent Coach and author of award-winning mental health books for kids. Dr. Huebner is best known for her What to Do Guides - including  What to Do When You Worry Too Much  and  Outsmarting Worry  - which have sold over 1 million copies. Rather than giving a one-size-fits-all talk, Dr. Huebner will be answering audience questions about how to recognize anxiety in kids, how to respond to it, and how to build skills to better manage it. Questions can be submitted in advance, written on a note card that evening (to maintain anonymity) or asked live. This is not a group therapy session but instead an informative Q&A that will leave you with a clearer understanding of anxiety, what parents do that inadvertently feeds it, and how to help your child get on the path to defeating it.
