KIDS HEART CHALLENGE – MARCH 2 – AFTER SCHOOL
Tomorrow March 2, the Physical Education department will hold their annual “Kids Heart Challenge” through the American Heart Association. The event will take place after school from 2:30-5 pm. Students can participate in Jump Rope and Basketball activities, as well as the 4th Annual “Algonquin Ninja Warrior” competition. If you plan to attend the event, please hand in a signed Kids Heart Challenge permission slip form that was handed out in class.
For those who won’t be able to attend, but would still like to help, we ask that you register your son or daughter at www.heart.org/khc . By getting 50% of our students just registered we will be able to earn extra money towards our Physical Education department program along with extra recess equipment. Registering is free and does not obligate you to come to the event or raise any money. If you or your son or daughter has any questions please email Emily Crowley at crowleye@apcsd.org.
Thank you,
Algonquin Physical Education Department

FROM THE LIBRARY
Save the date: Coding Club will be held on Wednesday, March 1st. If your child would like to attend, they can email Mrs. Ekstrom at ekstromr@apcsd.org to sign up or sign up in the library. All are welcome to attend!
CHROMEBOOK REMINDER: Please help your child be ready for school by reminding them to charge their Chromebook each night and to be sure to pack it in their backpack for the next school day. If the battery life falls below 20%, the laptop can go into a deep sleep and die. It then has to be sent to our Technology Department to be revived. If students are charging their Chromebooks every day, this should ensure that their school day and learning is not interrupted.
