Hallsville fuels up to be healthy!

The National Diary Council has awarded Hallsville Elementary School with the "Fuel Up to Play 60" grant. The grant's purpose is to promote physical activity and healthy eating among students and families.  

 A portion of Hallsville's funding was used to purchase blenders!  In February, each grade level had the opportunity to try different flavored smoothies in a school-wide taste test and complete a short survey developed by the Hallsville School Wellness Committee.  The survey revealed that students wanted strawberry banana smoothies as part of the school's daily breakfast program.  

 A special thanks to MSD food service director, Mr. Connors, and dietician, Ms. Sheehy, for assisting with with the school-wide taste test.

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter.
