Thank you everyone who got the school year off on the right foot by walking to or from school.  Did you notice our new walking path from Briarlake road around the back of the playground/parking lot and up to school behind the cafeteria?  If you haven't walked to or from school yet, please give it a try.  Studies show that children who walk to school are better behaved and perform better in school.  And you find out the most information about your child's day as you walk home together. 
 
Even if you can't walk all the way from home, you can still get the benefit of walking by parking on a neighborhood street and walking from there.  On Monday, we counted 67 cars lined up in the afternoon drive thru line before the line even began to move!  If you park on Silvastone and walk to school, it will take two minutes each way.  This is much faster than waiting in a line of cars, and much better for the environment.  For those of you who do wait in your cars, thank you for following the drive thru line rules and not using cell phones or texting while your car is on.  We are looking forward to seeing you out of your car!
