Bode/Diabetes Bracelets

As many of you may know a member of our class has juvenile diabetes.  All members of our class have played a tremendous role in making sure Bode was safe throughout the day.  Students always walked Bode to and from the nurse and payed attention to signs to indicate how Bode was feeling.  Today Nurse Kelly came in and presented all of us a bracelet in appreciation.  The bracelets say Cure Diabetes.  They were dontated to our classroom from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

We will be decorating white t-shirts for students to wear at Field Day on June 6th. If possible, please send a clean white t-shirt for your child to decorate at school. I will keep these in the classroom after we decorate them and keep them for your child to change into before we leave for Airport Park on the morning of Field Day.
