Don't forget, before you leave for spring break -
- Classrooms and resource/open areas should be cleaned up. Please take some time to make sure all items are put away and it's cleaned up.
- All food, including that in the Staff Lounge, are thrown away or taken home.
- Unplug things in room that don't need to be charged.
World Down Syndrome Day - Tuesday:
World Down Syndrome Day is coming up on Tuesday of next week. As a part of that day, I would like to share a link to a video that can be shared within your classrooms. The video is made for kids and it features classrooms preschool-elementary with basic education surrounding Down syndrome and inclusion.
This video was organized by a parent, Kristin, whose son William has Down syndrome. If you have a chance to share the video and can snap a picture of the kids watching it, I would love to share those with her so she can see the impact she and her family is having.
Farm America Trips:
Please see the email below regarding opportunities at Farm America in Waseca -
My name is Jenny Delnay, the Program Director at Farmamerica. I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to see if there was anything that Farmamerica could do for you.
I wanted to let you know about a few programs that happen at Farmamerica, to see if any were of interest to you.
Elementary Field Trips. Every spring and fall we offer tours for grades 3-6 that teach about this history of agriculture in Minnesota. We have a couple Owatonna schools that already are signed up to participate this spring, including St. Mary's, Washington and Owatonna Christian.
We are also always open to other conversations about how we can help! We have worked with local FFA officers to house livestock over the summer months for their students to raise when they don't have space and just opened a community garden last year.
