Daniel Wertz is committed to promoting healthier habits!
Staying Hydrated
Please fill water bottles with plain or sparkling water - no sugar, please!
Drinks like Gatorade, Bodyarmor, Prime and other outside beverages are best saved for after school.
Classroom Celebrations
We are rolling out a fresh approach to celebrations at our school. If your student is celebrating a birthday, your student may celebrate in style by wearing
- A birthday t-shirt
- festive headbands
- a birthday button
In addition, families are welcome to send in:
- Snacks from our DW Healthy Snack List below.
- Small items such as stickers, pencils, and bookmarks as a fun way to celebrate with the class
Each year, we will have two classroom parties where students can enjoy sweet treats and celebrate together as a group.
Thank you for your help in creating a school environment that supports both celebration and wellness!
