Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Grant

Hello Staff,

We have been the recipients of the FF&V grant for the past 6 years. I recently wrote the grant so that we could receive it again for next year. I hope to hear of the decision soon. As you know, this program has been VERY good for our school. It has allowed us to educate our students on eating healthy snacks as well as introduce many of them to new fruit and vegetables that they would have not know of otherwise. It is extremely important that if we are awarded this grant again that we make sure that EVERY student in our school is given an opportunity to receive the healthy snack each day. This is not an option. If your class goes to lunch early and you do not think that they need a snack in the morning, you will have to make arrangements with Debra in the cafeteria to prepare snacks for your class in advance and you can offer them to the students later in the day. This particularly pertains to 5th and 4th grade because they eat so early in the day. Please do not get the snacks early and let them sit in your rooms unrefrigerated until the afternoon. This is not a safe practice.

Thank you for your willingness to participate in this program. It has truly been great for our students. Please send a blog with any comments or questions that you have.
Have a great day!!!!!

What great weather we are having!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Hall Fletcher Staff and Community,

I cannot believe that I have not written to you since March 29th!!! So much has happened since then. We have had spring break, we have had many days of great weather and we are really enjoying school!!!!!!!

I am at a women's conference at Lake Junaluska this weekend. TALK ABOUT REFRESHING!!!! I REALLY NEEDED THIS!!!!!

There are not many days of school left. Everyone is getting a little anxious. I am asking that we all support each other and really work hard to make these last 40 (or less) days the best EVER.

Please write me if you have an suggestions as to how I can make these last days great for you. Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
