With these announcements, students at Erdenheim watch an opening message, a few encouraging reminders, a weekly weather report, and our principal's challenge. If you are interested, we have provided a copy for our families to review below.

The two flavors we will be serving are blue raspberry and cherry and the products are from Juice Alive. Nutritional facts can be found here.
Health Screening Results
Health screening results for Erdenheim students have now been posted to the Health Portal. Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 received vision and growth screenings. Additionally, each student in 3rd grade received a hearing screening. Referral forms were mailed home to the families of any student who did not pass the vision or hearing screenings. If you would like more information about the screening program and health related resources, please see the Health Services screening webpage. If you have any questions about the screening program or your child's results, please feel free to contact your child's school nurse. If you would like a paper copy of your child’s health screening results, please notify wendi_ostrow@sdst.org; requested results will be sent home via backpack unless you indicate a preference for U.S. mail.
After School Activities for Students!
Calling All Runners!
Do you enjoy running? Please consider registering as a coach for Girls on the Run! This is a great opportunity for our students! This program is pre-designed with lessons that build up a child’s self-esteem and team buildings skills. In order to offer this opportunity to our students this spring as an after-school activity, we need volunteer coaches!
Girls on the Run Program Details: This is a 10-week program that would occur twice a week for 90 minutes a session. At this time, we believe this will occur on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-5:00 pm from Feb. 27th-May 21st. New coaches would be invited to live training and returning coaches would have access to asynchronous training.
Please see this flyer for more information.
