HAVE A HAPPY WINTER BREAK! FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S DESK Hello Baxter Families, What an interesting November we are having! This mild, wet weather is definitely not the Alaska we are used to. Winter weather is inevitable though, as evidenced by the snow on our mountain tops. Now is the time to dig out and dust off winter gear. We know that the weather can change drastically just like that, making appropriate clothing a must. Thank you for making sure your child is prepared for the conditions. It is so much more enjoyable outside when you can run and play and aren’t trying to stay warm and dry. We need your help! There is no coverage on our school grounds until 8:40 in the morning. Students are being dropped off and walkers are arriving to school before 8:40. This is creating unsafe conditions for students. If students arrive before 8:40, we will be calling home to see what plan we can put in place to ensure they are not arriving early. Thank you for supporting us in keeping your children safe. Unfortunately, at this time, we are no longer able to provide morning coverage for students to play on the playground. We have less staff members this year and are stretched thin on our duty stations. The tough decision was made that in order to keep students fully supervised and safe, we are having students line up at 8:40 at their assigned classroom doors. The playground is off limits due to elimination of a duty station. Please remind your bobcat that the playground is closed in the morning. If we can figure out a way to provide coverage we will reassess opening up the playground at that time. Our teachers love to offer field trips to our students! They are unique learning opportunities that enrich what is happening in the classroom and give students opportunities to experience and see things in our community. Field trips bring learning to life! We don’t want students to miss out on these outings due to financial hardship. It is extremely important that you communicate with your child’s teacher if this is the case and we can ask for scholarship money from our PTA. If you do not communicate with the teacher, we will have no choice, but to provide an alternate activity at school for students as oftentimes we have to prepay for the number of seats, etc. that we will be using. Once we turn in the number of students attending, it is usually out of our hands. Our wonderful, hardworking teachers often pay the difference out of their own pockets, even though we ask them to let PTA know (they are just wonderful and giving like that J) and it can be significant amounts of money. We appreciate your understanding and attention to this. Please come and visit often. We love having you here! As always, if we can ever be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to give me, or your child’s teacher a call or send an email. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please call or visit one of our offices. Warm Regards, Dawn Campbell, Principal and Lisa Lansdale, Assistant Principal ©Jason Miczek Photography Help Your Child Succeed in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance Early School success goes hand in hand with good attendance! DID YOU KNOW? • Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. • Missing 10 percent (or about 18 days) can make it harder to learn to read. • Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two days every few weeks. • Being late to school may lead to poor attendance. • Absences can afect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up. Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Good attendance will help children do well in high school, college, and at work. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Set a regular bed time and morning routine. When Do Absences • Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before. Become a Problem? • Find out what day school starts and make sure your child has the required shots. CHRONIC ABSENCE • Introduce your child to her teachers and classmates before 18 or more days school starts to help her transition. • Don’t let your child stay home unless she is truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home. WARNING SIGNS 10 to 17 days • If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make her feel comfortable and excited about learning. SATISFACTORY • Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something 9 or fewer absences comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent. • Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school Note: These numbers assume is in session. a 180-day school year.

    Nutrition and Marketing Ratings of Children’s Cereals Jennifer L. Harris, Ph.D., M.B.A. Marlene B. Schwartz, Ph.D. Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bad News: There is no ambiguity in the results of this report. The least healthy cereals are the ones most marketed to children, and The Better News: It need not be this way. Most cereals overall, children are exposed to a vast amount of marketed to children are high in sugar, high in sodium, and low in marketing for highly-sugared cereals, more than for fiber. Many are highly colorful because of artificial dyes, making any other category of packaged food. healthier cereals, very literally, pale in comparison. Yet, every cereal company does have products that earn good nutrition scores, but What was once a simple marketing landscape— these are marketed to adults, not children. television advertising during cartoons—has morphed into a complex web of persuasive messages even Reinforcing the myth that children will not eat low-sugar cereals, adults may not perceive as marketing. Internet the industry has funded a number of studies that find that highly- games and marketing through social media such as sweetened cereal is good for children, especially when compared to Facebook are just the beginning and do not capture having no breakfast at all. Breakfast is good—make no mistake—but digital advances that will occur in the future. a breakfast with less sugar, more fiber, and less sodium will be better for children. The cereals marketed to children fail every reasonable nutrition test, yet according to the food A new study delivers good news.

    ON NOVEMBER 30, 1928, a New Company Was Listed on the New York Stock Exchange

    ON NOVEMBER 30, 1928, a new company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Formed through the merger of several regional milling companies, General Mills would grow to become one of the largest food companies in the world. To mark that 75th anniversary, this book celebrates 75 years of innovation, invention, food and fun – both inside and outside the kitchen – in America and around the world. PROLOGUE 1 PROLOGUE It would be difficult to capture our rich history in a thousand pages. There are simply too many stories to tell. But this opportunity only comes once – and we couldn’t let it pass. On the 75th anniversary of the creation of General Mills – in our 137th year as a company – we wanted to pause to commemorate at least some of the historical highlights of a great American company. But where to start? With the creation of General Mills in 1928? Or at the beginning, on the banks of the Mississippi River in 1866? And what of the many companies with which General Mills has been intertwined? What of Pillsbury and Green Giant? What of Kenner and Parker Brothers, Red Lobster and Burger King? What of the products we invented together and the brands we built together? It was simple really. Pillsbury’s history is our history. Green Giant, Old El Paso, Colombo and Häagen-Dazs are here – alive within General Mills. Of the rest we chose to include a little of each, because they too are a part of us. And while we take no credit for the success they enjoy today, we are proud to have shared the same path for at least part of our shared history.
