The annual "Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work" day will be held on April 27th. Leon County
Schools will allow participation in this event for children in grades 3-8. Schools must receive a
pre-approved letter from the parent and/or guardian indicating that their child will be
participating in this event. The employee must provide the school with a written statement on
company letterhead verifying the student's attendance.
LOST AND FOUND ITEMS
We have LOTS of items in our lost and found!
Please take a few minutes within the next few weeks of school to come by and look for any items
that might belong to your child. After the school year ends, the lost and found will be donated to
charity.
Have you Moved??????
If you have moved or if you move over the summer, please bring us proof of your new address. If
you move out of Canopy Oaks' zone, you will need to withdraw your child/ren and enroll them in
the school for which you are zoned.
Camp Woe-Be-Gone
A special event for grieving children
The Caring Tree Program of Big Bend Hospice and the Challenger Learning Center invite children,
ages 6-12, who have experienced the death of a loved one to join in a day of fun, support,
exploration, and expression. Campers will enjoy a day filled with sharing circles, creative arts, a
space simulation, music, and a time of remembrance. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, t-shirts, and
transportation to and from the Challenger Center will be provided. This camp is a community
outreach of Big Bend Hospice, Inc. The event will take place on Saturday, May 20, 2006 from 8:00
am-5:00 pm. Meet at Big Bend Hospice, 1723 Mahan Center Blvd., at 7:30 am. Call Marsha or
Caitlin for more information or to register. Space is limited so please register early, (850)
878-5310 or (800)772-5862.
Don't forget to send in your box tops! Canopy Oaks receives 10 cents for each box top turned in.
There are a variety of products that box tops are on, so check out the products you buy. Just clip
them out and send them in with your child.
Kindergarten registration is approaching fast. Registration at Canopy Oaks will be the first two
weeks of May. The following are kindergarten requirements for registration:
_ Child must turn 5 years old by 9/1/06.
_ Proof of a physical within the past year.
_ Shot records (the blue card).
_ Original birth certificate (the one without the footprints on it).
_ 2 proofs of address (Check with front office to find out what is acceptable).
If you have any questions, please call Janet Allen at Canopy Oaks (488-3301).
Nutrition Tip of the Week
Make fast food healthier: Order tacos or burritos with salsa and skip the cheese. Top pizzas with
chicken or Canadian bacon with lots of vegetables. Ask for a grilled chicken sandwich served on
a baguette. Have water or skim milk instead of a soft drink. You can also order smaller-sized
burgers, share fries with a friend and substitute a salad for French fries - all good ways to make
quick-serve meals healthier.
Physical Activity Tip of the Week
Crunch in Bed
Before you even get out of bed in the morning, do 10 stomach crunches while lying flat on your
mattress. Increase daily by one until you get up to 100. Think you'll never get there? Try it. You
may eventually have to set your clock to wake up 15 minutes earlier, a small price to pay for a
flatter stomach.
