Art

This is to let you know that our school has teamed up with Original Works to offer a very special program that allows you to have your student's very own artwork reproduced into a number of professional, full color products.

Your child will be creating their artwork in school, using the regular art curriculum as the basis for their work of art.  You will then have the opportunity to order a variety of products with your student's own artwork featured on each and every product. 

We are thrilled to be participating in this unique and innovative program.  Look for complete program, product and pricing information coming soon.  Additional order forms may be found and printed Here.

Jump Rope For Heart
        Congratulations to the students, family and donators for helping Martha P. King Elementary School raise $5,080 to help fight heart disease in 2007.  The American Heart Association thanks you all for your time, efforts and dedication to helping others. 
        As Heart Disease and Childhood Obesity are at an all time high you may be wondering what else you can do to help.  Here are a few things you can do to help yourself, your family and those around you. 
 

* Exercise-Lack of physical activity is one of the major modifiable risk factors of heart disease (AHA).  So break out the tennis shoes for a family walk, dust off the hiking boots and head for the hills, pump up that tire and go for a bike ride, or put on the sun block and take a dip in the pool!  30 minutes 3-4 times a week will not only be good for your heart but will make you feel better and more energized too.
* Stop Smoking-Smoking is the most preventable cause of heart disease and each day 3,000 children start in the US (AHA). 
* Learn CPR-It could give a loved one that extra minute that they need for professional help to arrive.  And, CPR was developed by research funded from the AHA. 
* Eat Healthier-A serving of potato chips has about 10 times as much fat as a serving of pretzels (AHA).  For the average adult, a reduction of 500 calories a day from your normal intake will result in a 1 pound a week weight loss (AHA).  So chop up those apples for a quick healthy snack and break out that veggie dip for those carrots. 

        Here are a few activity guides provided by the American Heart Association for you and your family to participate in.

* Ten Ways to Help Children Develop Healthy Habits
