March Madness!

Please join us for a little fun and show your Tobin school spirit! We thought some school spirit would be a great way to help us through the month of March. Beginning this week, each Wednesday in March will be a spirit day with it's own theme!

Wednesday, March 10 - Tobin Spirit Day
Wear your Tobin gear or blue and white.
Wednesday, March 17 - Wacky Wednesday
Dress as wild as you want! Be creative - what will you wear on top? Things in your hair, a hat, something silly?
Wednesday, March 24 - Silly Sock Day
Find some silly socks to wear...feel free to mismatch, too!
Wednesday, March 31 - PJ Day
Wear your pajamas to school!

Virtual Lunch Groups

Starting March 8th, we will be offering virtual lunch groups! We have one time slot per grade per week, with the potential to add additional slots depending on demand and staff availability. I ask that you please distribute this flyer to all teachers and families. This is open to all students, with a focus of course being on the students who are still attending school virtually. Our staff are excited, and we hope that this offering allows some socialization time for those kids who are feeling isolated during the lunch hour.

National Nutrition Month: 
School Breakfast Rocks!

cim logoDid you know that 8-12% of all school-aged kids, and as many as 20-30% of teens, skip breakfast? But study after study shows that kids who eat breakfast function better! They do better in school and have better concentration and more energy and are generally in better overall health than those who skip the morning meal. ALL school meals are FREE this year, so there has never been a better time to eat and enjoy school breakfast! Try all the tasty options this March: fruit and yogurt parfaits, whole wheat pancakes, cereal with fresh fruit, and more! From your friends at Cambridge in Motion, a program of the Cambridge Public Health Department, and CPSD Food & Nutrition Services.

Learn about the benefits of eating breakfast from the American Academy of Pediatrics >>
