Join us for an evening of Line Dancing and Literacy on Nov. 25th, 6 - 7:30 pm
Did you know there is a connection between Line Dancing and Literacy? Come out for the experience and learn about the shared connection through activities that promote skills such as rhythm, sequencing, and language comprehension. Engaging in line dancing can strengthen literacy by enhancing abilities such as phonemic awareness, facilitating sentence construction through repetition, and improving the ability to retell and sequence narratives.

They work while we rest. Sometimes we donāt recognize the work they provide. Thatās why we love this day, National Custodian Day, which rolls around every October 2. It acknowledges the hard work that it takes to keep our public facilities in tip-top shape, as well as the people who diligently work to ensure our schools and workplaces are spotless and sanitary.
Custodians serve as our first line of defense in the battle against germs. So, on National Custodian Day, take some time to express your gratitude to the custodians who keep the offices and schools you visit immaculate. Custodians are the hardest-working individuals in the industry!

A Thank You from Ms. Evans:
Thank you, Spartan Nation, for supporting Sickle Cell Awareness throughout September. From listening to weekly announcements and real-life stories to participating in blood drives, wearing burgundy and awareness ribbons, and sharing vital information, you helped shine a light on this important cause.
Please continue to support and encourage all Sickle Cell Warriors even after September! #RHSpartanpride
šļø September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month
Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent inherited blood disorder in the United States, impacting around 100,000 individuals. This year, take the opportunity to Get to Know Sickle Cell.
Sickle cell disease, also known as sickle cell anemia, includes a group of inherited disorders that affect hemoglobin, the primary protein responsible for transporting oxygen in red blood cells. Under normal circumstances, red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible, allowing them to navigate smoothly through blood vessels. However, in sickle cell disease, these cells become misshapen, typically adopting a crescent or "sickle" form due to a gene mutation that alters the hemoglobin molecule. When red blood cells take on this sickle shape, they lose their flexibility and can obstruct blood flow throughout the body.
ATTENTION PLEASE: Richmond Heights Local Schools is on the November 4 ballot with a 7.5 mill operating levy. If passed, the cost to homeowners will be $263 per year per $100,000 of a homeās value. Without the levy, the district may be placed in fiscal emergency by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. This may require deep cuts across the district that could include:
ā¢ Reducing transportation services
ā¢ Eliminating course offerings and electives
ā¢ Laying off staff
ā¢ Increasing class sizes

Establish regular morning and evening routines.
Schedule appointments and trips outside of school hours when possible.
Talk with your child about the importance of being on time and ready to learn.
Reach out to your school if challenges ariseāour staff is here to support you.
Together, we can make every school day count!
