Sherman Family,

We hope you are finding ways to get outside and enjoy this wonderful winter weather. There are many ways to safely exercise during this time of year, including sledding, skating, ice hockey, skiing, walking, and snowshoeing. In January, I wrote to you about some ways we are promoting healthy lifestyles, and shared some information about our March Madness Nutrition Challenge. As I mentioned, along with exercising, it is important to eat nutritious, heart-healthy, foods. Starting March 2, we will engage our students in a competition between soon-to-be-famous fruits and

vegetables.

The competition involves students voting for their favorite fruits and vegetables. Like the competition between the best college teams, winning foods will move on to the next bracket until a champion in both categories is determined. Our winners will be determined by the last week in March. We will celebrate the winning fruit and the winning vegetable during our celebration on March 26.

This program encourages children to choose fruits and vegetables as an alternative to sugary

options at snack and meal time. All Sherman students in grades 1-5 will be given the opportunity to sample the participating fruits or vegetables each day. Students will vote for their favorite each day. Winners will be determined each day and charted on our lunchroom bracket chart, for everyone to keep track of during the month. I will also send home daily E-News messages.

Throughout the month, information will be shared with students about the value of incorporating more fruits and vegetables into their diet. We will encourage students to participate in these information sessions by submitting their own facts and ideas that they learn as well.

We are very excited about this opportunity for our students. I would like to thank many of our parents who have volunteered to help with our March Madness program. If you are interested in helping, please give me a call at 359-5498, or send me an e-mail at jpollard@rhnet.org.

Fondly,

Jeffrey Pollard

Principal
