🧼 Stay Healthy This Cold Season! Cold weather brings sniffles and coughs—but we can all help stop the spread of germs!

Please remind your child to wash their hands often:
After coughing, sneezing, or blowing their nose
Before eating or touching their face
Use warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds, or hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.

🤒 If your child is feeling sick, please keep them home until they are feeling better. This helps protect classmates, teachers, and staff from getting ill.

Let’s all do our part—clean hands and healthy hearts make a healthy school!

Panda Families, As we come to the end of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, we invite all of our amazing students to join us one more time in honoring the rich cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latin American communities.

🎉Friday, October 10th: We encourage students to wear a cultural shirt, jersey, or outfit that represents a Hispanic country or simply dress in the flag colors of a country they want to honor. It’s a fun way to show pride, learn about different cultures, and close out this meaningful month together!

👕 Not sure what to wear?
No worries! A simple T-shirt with the country’s name, a soccer jersey, or wearing red, yellow, blue, or green (colors from many Hispanic flags) is a great way to join in.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the beauty of diversity, heritage, and pride!
