-Waynesville Elementary, September 2010 Newsletter

High School/Middle School
To continue to promote healthy eating habits for the 2010/2011 school year we are re-emphasizing that our students purchase what is commonly called an approved class “A” lunch. A class “A” lunch includes all the components required by state guidelines to receive the nutrients necessary for a healthy balanced meal. Students who purchase this lunch for $2.50 receive a main item & bread/grain, a vegetable & fruit serving and an 8oz carton of milk. Two main item choices will be offered daily for students to choose from. Salads will also be available daily for purchase as part of their lunch.
If a student purchases main entree items separately or “alacarte” these items are priced at $2.50. If a student wishes to purchase an extra main item after a regular lunch has been purchased they will only be charged the $1.50 for the item. The pricing should encourage students to select a wholesome class A lunch.
Other Items for purchase on a daily basis are as follows:

The halls and classrooms were crowded as parents and students met their teachers and classmates for the 2010-11 school year. Over 95% of our families attended this event, and everyone had smiles on their faces!

On Thursday, August 19 all elementary teachers attended two workshops to prepare them for the 2010-11 school year. A new district-wide initiative for the school year is the application of the COLLINS WRITING PROGRAM in all content areas. The purpose is to engage students in writing answers that they would typically ‘say' in class.The program focuses on thinking skills, engages students in higher levels of thinking, and increases productivity. It also promotes rigor by developing intellectual curiosity. Students will be introduced to the 5 types of writing and focus correction areas.
