Just in time for cooler weather, our Northview Booster Club will be taking pre-paid orders for long-sleeved white Northview Atheletics t-shirts.   Each shirt will cost $15.  All proceeds will go to directly benefit Northview Middle School athletic programs.   These shirts are perfect for Friday Spirit Days!  Wear them to the games! 
 
Make checks payable to Northview Booster Club and staple them to your order form.  If paying with cash, please use a sealed envelope.  Please allow approximately 2 weeks for your order.  Orders will be delivered to your homeroom.  Thank you for your support!  Liz Johnson 228 3006, Michelle Atchison 850 5192, or Kerry King 291 9440. 

Below you will find a PDF file announcing the 2011-2012 calendar of events for the ADHD support group sponsored by the Patrick Beaver Learning Resource Center.   All sessions will be held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in the Community rooms.  The sessions are free and open to the public, but are especially geared for families and those who work with children and youth who have problems with attention that prevent them from reaching their potential. Each session is free-standing although there is a benefit from attending multiple sessions.  Presenters from the community add to the network of assistance for attendees. 

 

Please feel free to duplicate the attached flyer and share it with families and friends.  We welcome all teachers who want to join us.

The following volunteer opportunities are available to PTA members and parents:

Hospitality - Share your talents with the staff and show how much you appreciate all they do for your children.

Proctoring - Assist teachers as they administer those greatly anticipated tests.  Testing is done in the morning so you will need to be available by 7:45 am.

School Store - Enjoy watching the students socialize at lunch as you sell supplies and tee shirts.

Office Help - A few time slots are available for volunteers once a week to answer the phone and help students.

Fiscal Management

The Child Nutrition Programs operate as a non-profit business enterprise fund separate from Hickory Public Schools and support the total education of each child by providing nutritious meals. 

 

Students who pay full or reduced prices for meals are expected to provide payment either on a daily basis or by pre-paying.  However, the Board recognizes that periodically students may be unable to pay for a meal on a particular day.  On such occasions, students will be allowed to charge meals; however, once a student accrues three (3) days of charged meals, full or reduced price meal charge privileges shall be suspended.  Charge privileges for an “alternate meal” will be provided to the student.  Once the student’s account has been paid in full, the student may choose from the regular meal menu and charge privileges will be reinstated.

Principals or their designees will work with parents/guardians to determine the best method to ensure payment of meal costs for students who have exceeded their charge privileges.

As I shared with some of you this summer, I will continue to offer short articles for your school newsletter this year. I had several comments that this was helpful information and was well received last year so I hope that parents will continue to find these heart healthy tips useful.   Because the new school year is just beginning, I thought that it would be an ideal time to provide tips for packing a healthy lunch box. As always, please give me any feedback or suggestions for future articles. 

 

Healthy Lunch Box Basics
Try to include:

1 serving of vegetables or salad
1 serving of fruit (fresh, canned or dried)
1 serving of a low fat or fat free milk or dairy item such as a low-fat cheese stick, a yogurt cup, or some cottage cheese
1 serving of meat, chicken, fish, eggs, peanut butter, beans or another protein source
A healthy drink such as water, low fat milk or 100% juice.

Swap white bread for whole wheat varieties for added fiber (or use wheat pita bread, flatbreads or wraps)
Swap traditional fried chips for baked chips
Pack 1/4 cup of salt free almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts
Add banana or apple slices to the traditional peanut butter sandwich
Freeze water, low-fat milk or 100% juice to help keep foods in the lunch box cold (they will usually be defrosted by lunch time)
