We are getting off to a great start in the library.

All students are encouraged to take part in this fun reading program.
The FSP Book Fair will be the week of October 27th.
As we transition from the lazy days of summer back to school, it is important to establish healthy back-to-school sleep habits for your child. Sleep is essential for a teenager’s body and mind so they can grow and function at their best. Most teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night.
To help establish a good nighttime routine, have your child avoid using any form of electronics or caffeine at least an hour before bed. Engaging in a quiet, relaxing activity—such as reading, listening to music, drawing, or journaling—can also help release any stress and slow down their mind. Prioritizing good sleep habits now is a skill that will benefit your child’s overall well-being and success well into adulthood.
