Turn SunnyD Labels into Books for Teachers
Did you know that the average teacher spends almost $400 on classroom materials every year? And with budgets getting cut across the country, parents and teachers are having to work even harder today to ensure that they achieve the best possible education for their children. That's why SunnyD is proud to support the efforts of teachers and parents with the SunnyD Book Spree. The program is simple. Parents collect labels and send them into the classroom with their kids. Teachers then send the labels into SunnyD to get free books. 20 labels earns your class 20 free books. It's the perfect way to bring the power of reading into your kids' classroom.
For details and a list of eligible products please visit the SunnyD website. http://sunnyd.com/bookspree/index.html

Jeff Barry, President
Lisa Brown, Vice President of Development

As board members manage the foundation, they will also set funding priorities.
Ideas already on the table include teacher-initiated instruction projects, staff development, scholarships, student/teacher recognition programs and/or endowment funds.

Students commit to healthy choices
Healthy living took front and center in Pearland ISD schools this October. For the H-E-B Challenge, Carleston Elementary students and staff exercise after school. Activities throughout the month focused on health and safety in daily lives.
Red Ribbon Week (Oct. 28 - Nov. 1)
During this week celebrating being drug-free, students participated in fun activities and presentations emphasizing the importance of healthy lives minus drugs. Activities ranged from drug-free door-decorating contests and themed dress days (e.g., crazy sock day -- "sock it to drugs") to Pearland Police Department and Houston Texans Toro mascot presentations.
Healthy at H-E-B Community Challenge (Sept. 1 - Oct. 31)
Pearland ISD schools took on the challenge of proving that Pearland is one of the healthiest communities in Texas.
Although challenge results are still pending, the City of Pearland surpassed its goal of 250,000 points community-wide.
Throughout the eight-week challenge presented by "It's Time Texas," students and teachers showed their competitive spirit by participating in themed fruit and veggie weeks, breaking a sweat in fitness classes during and after school and signing personal wellness pledges.
Students learned that being healthy involves making the right choices in small decisions throughout the day.
Fire Prevention Month (October)
The Pearland Fire Department visited elementary schools district-wide throughout the month to teach students how to protect themselves during fires, such as the "stop, drop and roll" technique.
Students saw firefighting equipment and a fire engine up close to learn about the firefighter's role in helping to protect those in danger.
