Chinese Acrobats Assembly

We were able to secure this assembly due to a last minute cancellation in our area.  Each year The Bureau of Lectures brings new groups of Chinese acrobats complete with new routines to the US.  Rest assured though your students will still see some of their favorite routines, such as:  contortions, plate spinning, foot juggling, Chinese yo-yo, and group acrobatics.  An interpreter will also be with the group to enrich each assembly with facts about Chinese culture and customs.

Dental Health

Would you like a free toothbrush and toothpaste with a lesson on dental health for your classroom? The trainers have a big dog puppet (at least for primary grades) with a big mouth and toothbrush and they want a hands-on type of class.  They recommend not combining classrooms for that reason.  If you are interested, you will need to contact Kalleen Henderson at hendersonk@interdent.com or phone at 425 492-5209 to schedule your class.  They anticipate doing classes through the winter and spring.  When you contact Kalleen, you will need to let her know the school's name, the amount of time you'd like to have for the class and the number of students.  They are eager to go to Support Center classes.  If you have questions, talk with Charlene Fitzgerald.

United Way Campaign

As we did with our benefits, United Way sign-up is all on-line this year and is very user friendly.  Look for your individual email with log-in ID and password.  Campaign deadline is 11/30.
