Happy Friday, Bombers! Did you know that research proves that dancing reduces stress and tension for the mind and body? Studies have also shown that dancing prevents heart disease in particular. Another fun fact- most of you know about Tupac Shakur, the late rapping legend of the late 80’s and 90’s… but did you know that he used to do ballet? He became a member of the 127th street ensemble, a Harlem based theater company. I hope you get to DANCE today!

Have you ever been around someone who seemed to be smiling all the time? Chances are, you found yourself smiling as well. This is because smiling is incredibly contagious! Research suggests that happy people influence the people closest to them and provide a boost of good energy, smiles and laughter.

Happy Friday, Bombers! Did you know that research proves that dancing reduces stress and tension for the mind and body? Studies have also shown that dancing prevents heart disease in particular. Another fun fact- most of you know about Tupac Shakur, the late rapping legend of the late 80’s and 90’s… but did you know that he used to do ballet? He became a member of the 127th street ensemble, a Harlem based theater company. I hope you get to DANCE today!
Happy Birthday today to Dani W!

The Circle of Life teaches us that every living creature, big or small, plays an important role in our ecosystem. It also teaches us that life has ups and downs and no matter what, it keeps moving forward through despair and hope, faith and love.
Happy Birthday today to Kryan S. and Ramen S. in Ms. Lauko’s Class! Also, Happy Birthday to Aubrey M!
