Do you have SPArK?<br />
LT Ball does! Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 15 for a night of SPArK<br />
(Science, Physical education and “Art”-rithmetic for kids) at LT Ball. We will<br />
showcase the talents of our students through their visual art displays, physical<br />
education demonstrations and Invention Convention designs. PLUS, there will be<br />
many fabulous and fun interactive math and science stations for you to enjoy.<br />
We can’t wait to see you there!<br />
Music is in the air . . . .<br />
"The Castaways", is a musical grounded in historical fact, about a group of orphaned immigrant children struggling on the<br />
streets of New York <strong>City</strong> in the early 1900’s. These children were literally cast away from their families because their<br />
parents could no longer afford to feed them. Ultimately the happy endings for these “castaways” takes them to homes with<br />
Midwestern families.<br />
The story line is quite timely in light of our current volatile economic climate. It focuses on the problem of homelessness<br />
and the fact that children living on the streets, homeless, hungry and alone is a problem that has historically transcended<br />
time and generational boundaries.<br />
Through this production we will highlight the importance of community and the power of generosity as we challenge our<br />
students to become “Heroes” to homeless individuals living right here in the Dayton area. Join us Tuesday, March 20 at<br />
7:00 p.m. as our talented students present, “The Castaways”<br />
HELP WANTED:<br />
Ms. Barnes is seeking volunteers to help with art displays for the Art Show in March. Please contact Ms. Barnes at<br />
tbarnes@tippcity.k12.oh.us if you are able to help serve in this way. Thank you!<br />
Special Thanks to LTPA<br />
A very special thanks to the LTPA for their generosity in purchasing 10 additional iPads to be used directly in our<br />
classrooms. This is one more opportunity to help prepare our students as 21 st Century learners. Thanks so much!<br />
A Note from Food Service<br />
Do you give your friends valentines and little heart-shaped candies on Valentine's Day? Do you ever cross your<br />
heart when making a promise that you really, really mean? Or turn on the radio to hear a guy singing about his<br />
broken heart? We see and hear about hearts everywhere. A long time ago, people even thought that their<br />
emotions came from their hearts, maybe because the heart beats faster when a person is scared or excited. Now<br />
we know that emotions come from the brain, and that the brain tells the heart what to do.<br />
Most kids are born with a healthy heart and it's important to keep yours in good shape. Here are some things that<br />
you can do to help keep your heart happy:

Remember that your heart is a muscle. If you want it to be strong, you need to exercise it. How do you do<br />
it? By being active in a way that gets you huffing and puffing, like jumping rope, dancing, or playing<br />
basketball. Try to be active every day!<br />
Eat a variety of healthy foods and avoid foods high in unhealthy fats, such as saturated fats and trans<br />
fats.<br />
Don't smoke. It can damage the heart and blood vessels.<br />
So now you know that your heart doesn't look like a valentine, but it sure deserves to be loved for all the work it<br />
does. It started pumping blood before you were born and will continue pumping throughout your whole life.<br />
