Attendance
National School Breakfast Week: March 6 -10
Eating a healthy breakfast is an important part of students being ready to learn each day. In fact, national studies show that children who eat breakfast reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math; score higher on standardized tests; and have better concentration and memory.
To celebrate National School Breakfast Week, from March 6 - 10, Osseo Area Schools Food and Nutrition department will hold a hidden “Golden Ticket” promotion for children who eat a school breakfast. Each site will be awarded one $25 Barnes & Noble gift card to the student who receives the “Golden Ticket” with their breakfast. At the end of the week, a grand prize “Golden Ticket” will be randomly distributed at one elementary and one secondary school with breakfast. One lucky elementary student will receive a Galaxy Android Tablet and a secondary student will receive a pair of Galaxy Ear Buds.

ROAR GoFund me!
We are Palmer Lakes’s R.O.A.R. Let us introduce ourselves! We are a student group in Palmer Lake Elementary. We chose to call ourselves R.O.A.R. because we are Responsible, Outstanding, Ambitious and Respectful! That is also what R.O.A.R. stands for. We are starting our Go Fund Me, hoping to achieve our goal of $1500 for this year and hopefully a little more for the future students who would like to join next year! The reason why we are starting the Go Fund Me is for our group's field trip to Valley Fair at the end of the school year. We would love it if you donated to us!
Why is R.O.A.R important to Palmer Lake and its community? R.O.A.R students are leaders to the school and community. We show how students are supposed to act and can help the younger students to act more Respectful, Responsible and Kind for themselves and others by the examples from R.O.A.R. We also do lots of things like food drives, making posters for the school for events, making cards for nurses and doctors, and helping around the school. Now after all our hard work we did around our community we deserve an award, right? Well for one award we can go to Valley Fair, because Valley Fair can be a fun place and a place full of memories.
Will you consider donating to us so we have the funds to go to Valley Fair and so future R.O.A.R. students also get to go after?
