As part of our American Heart Association Kids' Heart Challenge week, we practiced CPR in all PE classes throughout the district. Hats off to Mr. Haslett and Mr. Patton for working with students to teach this lifesaving technique. The enthusiasm was contagious (and the elementary students loved having the song Stayin' Alive playing in the background to help them keep rhythm).
We are thankful to the Lexington EMS department for loaning us their mannikins to use for this lesson.
We are 100 days smarter! Our kindergarteners celebrated the 100th day of the school year today with various activities and creations. If you know one of our kindergarten students, we encourage you to ask them to count to 100 for you!
The American Heart Association's American Heart Challenge is here at Lexington Schools! This week our students will be learning how to keep their hearts and brains healthy, and raise funds to help kids with special hearts. Please see the attachments that provide the daily themes for Elementary and Jr High/High School students to participate while in attendance at school. We're inviting families to sign up and complete Finn's Mission where they will learn Hands Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke.

Welcome to the Minutemen family, Officer Mac!
Today we launched a second hot lunch option for elementary students. The Minutemen meals (make your own pizza kit on Tuesday/Thursday or muffin/cheese stick/yogurt on Monday/Wednesday/Friday) will be a constant option to the rotating hot lunch menu. All of the sides stay the same for both lunches. Special thank you to our amazing cafeteria staff for making this change!
January Lunch Menus
Books will soon be closed so that our hearts can be full. We hope your Christmas is filled with family time, cozy moments, and memories that last long after the decorations come down. School reopens for students on January 6th—until then, enjoy every minute!
