 6th Graders - If you have not turned in your Field Trip Permission Form, it needs to be returned THIS WEEK! The permission form is your ticket on the bus, and it tells us whether we need to have a sack lunch prepared for you or if you’ll bring your own. If you lost the form and need another one, see Mr. Kranz. Field Trip forms can be turned in to any 6th grade teacher.

Thought for the Day

The Awesome Avocado

Avocados are currently the ultimate trendy hipster food and have taken the fresh food market by storm in the last decade. Fortunately, they also have a large range of health benefits.

 

For our brains, studies have shown that avocados might be able to help protect against brain damage, specifically in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for things like planning and critical thinking.  Plus, avocados may help to prevent brain issues brought on by high blood pressure and strokes.

 

It’s worth remembering that avocados are also high in calories, so you’ll want to keep your amount limited if you’re trying to maintain a healthy weight!
