Reminders

Although my own children are long since grown up, I am reminded of pre-Halloween advice I received from son Ludwig’s third grade teacher back in 1998. In no particular order:

• If you plan on eating volumes of candy Halloween night it is best to condition ones tummy by eating at least 3 candy bars for the three days leading up to  October 31^st. We call it the 3x3, (like the 4x800 but less work).
• You may experience a feeling of fullness after the first 7 peanut butter cups, do not panic, this feeling is temporary and you will most likely be able to power through this discomfort and down that 12^th cup with only mild discomfort.
• Smarties (14 per pack) count as just one treat.
• Beware of the dentist handing out high fructose treats taped to a business card.
• Candy is its own food group.
• Sharing candy with mom and dad is never a substitute for Mothers/Father’s Day presents; the dates are not even in the same month! Come on!

Not related reminder:

• 1:00 early out this Thursday November 2^nd for staff development.
• No more shorts worn to school starting November 1 through Spring/Easter Break.
