Our biennial Perry Township Elementary Music festival will be held on Thursday, March 12th. Selected Mary Bryan students from grades three, four, and five will all be taking a morning field trip to Southport High School that day for a big rehearsal with the rest of the township. The concert will be that night.

More information to come.

Donations needed! The engineers of Mary Bryan have a very low supply of duct tape remaining. If you are interested in donating a roll, please have your student deliver it to our PLTW classroom (Mrs. Powell’s room). Thank you.

DID YOU KNOW?

SLEEP AND SCHOOL SUCCESS ARE RELATED

As we head into Winter Break, your student may want to stay up late. Did you know the impact that sleep has on children? More and more studies are showing a link between lack of sleep and academic and behavioral issues. In one study, all students were given an initial test and then divided into two groups. One group went to bed one hour early while the other group went to bed one hour later. When given a similar test after just one day, the students who got an extra hour of sleep improved their test scores! Those who had gotten less sleep did not. CNN has also reported that less sleep is linked to increased behavior issues such as temper tantrums, difficulty coping with emotions, and poor social skills.

Children in elementary school need between 10 and 11 hours of sleep EVERY NIGHT.

Signs your child may not be getting enough sleep:

Falling asleep in the car or watching TV

Sleeping significantly longer on weekends and school vacations

Impulsivity

Irritability

Sleep deprivation can affect:

Memory

Judgement

Motivation

Focus

Academic success

Behavior

Things you can do at home:

Set a bedtime that allows for about 10 hours of sleep. For example, if your child has to get up for school at 7AM, he or she should go to bed at 9PM.

Enforce bedtime –you cannot make your child fall asleep but you can make sure that he or she is in bed settling down for rest.

Allow children to read or read with them prior to turning off the lights.

Decrease sugar and caffeine in the child’s diet.

Turn off video games, TV, and other screens 30 minutes before bed time to help children wind down and fall asleep.

Physical activity every day.

So enjoy your break and relax bedtimes over the first week. But make sure that your student is ready to come back ready to learn by putting those good routines back in place BEFORE school starts on January 6

Happy New Year,

Make sure to help your children practice good hand washing and covering their cough to help stay well during cold and flu season.

We are very low or out of boys and girls uniform pants sizes 5-10. Please send in any old uniform pants that no longer fit your child. We can always use uniform pants, skirts, dresses, leggings, tennis shoes 10-4. So as your kiddos grow please keep us in mind for those old uniforms. They are greatly appreciated and always put to good use. Thanks

It's not too late to get your flu shot!
