HangTime now has Capoeira on Wednesdays! Capoeira is a Brazilian Martial Art that combines strength, dance, music and culture. You absolutely do not need to have any prior experience to do this. Please consider joining us for this opportunity during HangTime on Wednesdays.
With the beginning of allergy season upon us, the health office is low on tissues. We are happy to accept any and all tissue donations! Thank you!
Nick of Time screening for heart health will take place at Shorecrest High School during the school day on Wednesday, April 5, from 9am-3pm.

The screening events are open to any student between 14-24 years old no matter where they attend school. STUDENTS MUST PRE-REGISTER Pick up a heart history and permission form at the Shorecrest Office. Complete the form with parent permission signature. For appointments, return forms to the Shorecrest Attendance office.

What’s that smell?!!? We are getting to that time of year when the sun shines a little longer, the air is warmer and middle school
kids get stinky! The combination of puberty and warm temperatures can make for an all around unpleasant environment in the classroom. We need your help! As a parent, what can you do? • · The nose knows. Pay attention and if you notice a scent emanating from your teen, take action! • · Talk to your teen about it. Let teens know that body odor is normal, and everyone deals with it. • · Have your teen BATHE with soap, DAILY, if not more. This includes washing hair with shampoo
also. A lot of the time, this will solve the problem. The school nurse has hygiene packs available for students.
• · Clean clothing. Ensure that your teen is wearing clean clothing and not just tossing on yesterday’s socks and underwear! For athletic activities, consider the kind of clothing that will wick the sweat away from the body. Also, check your kid’s shoes. They can be awfully stinky!
• · Deodorant or antiperspirant. Antiperspirants reduce sweating, which can cut down on body odor. Deodorants just neutralized the odor. Don’t be afraid to purchase two sticks, one for home and one for the gym or backpack. Again, the school nurse has hygiene packs available that include deodorant/antiperspirant.
• · Last but not least…talk with your teen’s doctor. Occasionally there are medical conditions that can cause body odor.
All joking aside, teen hygiene is an important lifelong social skill. Kids who don’t pay attention to their hygiene are at risk of being targets of teasing by other students. Please talk to your kids and support them during these tumultuous teen years!

FUNDRASING
$2000 WINTER/SPRING CHALLENGE!
CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITIES!
If every student's family and every staff member brought in:
Just 10 BOX TOPS (=$1) that would bring in $700! Just $100 worth of BALLINGER THRIFTWAY RECEIPTS (=$1) that's another $700!
Those two efforts alone would raise $1400 for our kids. Throw a $1 bill in there for good measure, and that brings the total to over $2000 raised!
(Okay, so.... double those efforts and we will have raised $4000 by the end of the school year. Just
sayin'....).
Let's do it! I'll send monthly updates on our progress! Thank you!
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR BOX TOPS PARENT, CATHY BENTLEY
