Whiting Elementary School invites the community to M.U.N.C.H. Night (Making and Understanding Nutritional Choices for better Health) onTUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2011 from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. There is no fee for this event, however, dinner guests are asked to bring a healthy dish to share.
Dinner is from 5:00 -6:00 p.m., followed by a Guest Speaker from 6:00-6:30 p.m., and a Health & Fitness Fair from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
At 6:00 in the Media Center, students from the Jr. Impact Club will be volunteering to read books to Kindergarten or preschoolers as part of a healthy body (food) and mind (books) effort. Feed Your Body and Your Mind.... Thanks to a mini-grant from the PTA , we will purchase appropriate books for the youngsters. Our Jr. Impact students will read the book, discuss it and then autograph it for the child as a gift. We hope this will be a well attended and worthwhile project to promote literacy. Barbara Bastian, our Literacy Coach, will be available to speak with the parents while the students are reading. She will offer tips on how to read with a young child.
