Hey Welty Roadrunners! Are there any aspiring chefs out there👩‍🍳👨‍🍳? Well, you can showcase your skills by participating in the upcoming Future Chefs culinary competition for students in 3rd to 5th grade! Fill out an entry form with your recipe showcasing “COMPLETE THE PLATE WITH YOUR FAVORITE MAIN DISH,” and you’ll be in the running to compete in a live competition at Nogales High School on March 5th. Check in the front office for entry forms and more details. Deadline to submit your recipes is January 24th. As an added bonus, the winner of this event will have their recipe entered into a National Competition, with the chance to win even more great prizes! Good luck🍀💛!

This week, we saw some positive attendance trends! We had a fantastic Tuesday with 94% attendance. Unfortunately, the cold weather impacted attendance on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, bringing our overall weekly average to 86%. Please be assured that we prioritize the health and well-being of our students. We take steps to keep them warm and comfortable during cold weather to minimize disruptions to their learning. To ensure we maintain a strong attendance record, I want to emphasize the importance of consistent school attendance. Remember, our goal is to achieve an overall attendance rate of 95%. If we don't meet this goal, we will unfortunately have to postpone our pizza party celebrations. Our students' future success depends on them being in school every day! Remember, "Every Day Counts!!" Let's work together to create a positive and encouraging school environment where attendance is a top priority💛.

Mrs. Silva's favorite day of the month is when we celebrate our amazing Roadrunners with Roadrunner of the Month! Congratulations to all of you! We are so proud for your commitment to be the very best you can be. Keep shining ✨️ 💛!

Serve up success! 🎾💪 Fuel your game with healthy choices and hit the court with energy and focus. 🥗⚡ #FuelYourBody #HealthyLiving #NUSD1
