MRS. YOUNGBLOOD’S MESSAGE
Our kindergarten students have really shined these past two weeks. They
were such gracious hosts to our incoming 2007-2008 kindergarten students at
orientation. And their Spanish music performance this week was a delight!
I am very proud of our youngest Roberts students!
I want to extend a special thank you to our parents and students for making
our teachers feel so appreciated this week. The luncheon and gifts were
very thoughtful. The teachers thoroughly enjoyed their special week.
Thank you for your continued support!!
We look forward to honoring all our students on Friday, May 18, the day we
have set aside as Student Appreciation Day. Students will be treated to
ice cream sundaes and will receive a special gift.
Thank you to everyone for helping make the 2006-2007 school year at Roberts
such a happy and successful one. I wish you all a fun and safe summer and
look forward to the students’ return in August.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TIPS
The Physical Activity Tip for the week of May 7-11 is “Walking”. Spend 20
to 30 minutes per mile, three times per week to reduce body fat and the
risk of heart attach by an average of 18%. Power walking improves cardio-
respiratory fitness by as much as 16% and can provide as much as 95% of the
health benefits that come from exercise.
The Physical Activity Tip for the week of May 14-18 is “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.
