We are mad about March at Colby Grade School with March Madness activities! March is filled with many important events beginning with Read Across America! Once we return from Spring Break we will be 3/4 of the way through the 21-22 school year. Who knows where it went, but we know that we are going to finish strong.

March is National Nutrition Month!
We want to practice good nutrition all year long, but this month gives us a great opportunity to focus on what eating healthy and being physically active really means. Nutrition plays a huge role in our health! Here are a few ways we can make healthy choices:
- Eat more fruits and veggies: Make half of you plate fruits and vegetables every day.
- Try whole grains: Ask for oatmeal, whole wheat breads, or brown rice at meals.
- Mix up your protein foods: Include different foods life seafood, beans, lentils, nuts, eggs, meats, poultry.
- Get involved: Help out by putting away groceries, stirring ingredients, peeling fruits, assembling salads, or setting the table.
- Be active your way: Find ways to be active and move your body for at least 1 hour a day like walking to school, riding your bike, or playing a sport with friends.
