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/children and enroll
them in the school for which you are zoned.
Nutrition Tip of the Week
A good example of how portion sizes can affect the health of children: Studies show that when
children ages 3 to 5 were served double the size of a standard lunch entrée, they ate 25 percent
more food than when they were served a "normal" portion. When the children were allowed to
serve themselves, the amount of food they ate was closer to a typical serving size. Overeating
leads to excess calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars. This approach
to eating can lead to excess weight gain and increase diet-related health risks.
Don't skip the milk - Recent research finds that children who included calcium from dairy foods in
their diet had lower body fat than children with lower dairy calcium intakes.
Physical Activity Tip of the Week
R.I.C.E For Injuries
If you suffer from a sports related injury, use R.I.C.E. The term stands for Rest, Ice, Compression,
and Elevation.
Rest - Take a break from exercise or any type of movement that may stress the injured area. A
minor injury should be rested for one or two days, while more severe injuries may need longer.
Ice - Ice the affected area. Icing reduces pain, limits swelling and bleeding, and encourages rapid
healing. Wrap ice in a towel to avoid direct contact with the skin.
Compress - Compress the injury with a stretch bandage. Make sure not to wrap it too tight, just
enough to support the injured area comfortably.
Elevate - Elevate the limb. If possible, try to keep the injured part above the level of the heart. At
the very least, try to keep it higher than the hips. This helps limit swelling and also prevents
movement of the area that is injured.
Sky's the limit - But not on time spent in front of the TV or computer. Children who watch TV for
as few as 2 to 5 hours per week increase their chances of being overweight.
