YOLO Speakers!

We were fortunate to have our own Lindbergh Flyers as our guest speakers this week!  We had junior and senior students from the pom team, cheer team and football team come and share with our fifth grade students.

A special thank you to the following high school students:

Sperreng Speakers:

Kaitlyn Crutchley (Pom), Danielle Davis (Cheer), Emily Bushway (Cheer), Ian Nelson, Tommy Floyd, Alfie Miller & Jaron Heller (football gentlemen)

Concord Speakers: 
Allie Billen (Pom), Selma Kuduzovic (Pom), Lexi Opilka (Cheer), Will Williams and Tyler West (football gentlemen)


Long Speakers: 
Erica Ried (Pom), Lauren Mueller (Cheer), Lucas Osia, Jimmy Schad and Alex Morgan (football gentlemen)

The students heard a message about finding a sport or exercise that is a passion. They also listened to healthy habits pertaining to time management and social media tips that our high school students practice. Ways to manage peer pressure and the benefits of being part of a team were also discussed. It was amazing to hear our students passing wisdom to each other. I hope we can do this again!

As a parent, you can no doubt write your own poem. An ode to "thine tired child's crabbiness and orneriness" perhaps. But the reasons for a good night's sleep go well beyond mood. "If children are not sleeping well the consequences may be problems with behavior, attention, learning, and memory," says Dr. Shelly Weiss, author of  Better Sleep for Your Baby & Child: A Parent's Step-by-Step Guide to Healthy Sleep Habits  and Pediatric Program Director at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
