After Christmas, our students will begin using heart rate monitors in PE class. This exciting addition to our curriculum will allow children to track their physical activity and chart their progress over time. We’re happy to be making this addition to our already-robust technology and PE programs. The new monitors were made possible through a grant, as well as substantial help from our Saint Lawrence P.T.O. Plan to help work a shift at our major P.T.O. fundraisers, such as Mystery Dinner (February 15) and Dan’s Fish Fry (March 15), to ensure that we have funds for future initiatives.
 
If you are interested in having your child(ren) participate in 4-H, you may want to attend an Open House at the Purdue Extension Office, 100 West Main Street (Room 202). Open House will be Monday, January 14, 2019, from 3:00-6:00PM. Call 765.747.7732 for details.

They Said It! We recently asked our grades 1-2-3 students about their favorite part of Saint Lawrence. Here’s a few of their responses:
 
Gym, because we play basketball and flag football. We get to shoot and make touchdowns.  -Davon, grade 2
 
I like to play with my teacher. She is very funny in the classroom. I like to learning art because we get to paint. I like gym because we get to play games. I like all the classes and I like every teacher in this school.  -Giselle, grade 2
 
I like art because we paint and draw. I like making sketches.  -Lora, grade 2
