Rowayton's Green Team Hosts Walk and Roll to School Day this Wednesday!
October Wellness Celebrates All Thing Pink!
The Color of the Month for October is Pink! Pink can represents kindness, love, shyness, or embarassment. Throughout the month, students will learn about these emotions and participate in activities that support wellness. Students will incorporate pink themes into body, heart, and mind activities. We ask families to join us by considering activities, crafts, or healthy snacks that can be used to promote wellness as we celebrate October! Thanks to the Staff and PTA Wellness Committees for facilitating this initiative!
