Teacher Appreciation Week
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to support Arcadia’s wonderful teaching staff!! Here is the plan for the week:
Monday: Donuts and coffee
Tuesday: Relaxation day with chair massages, a yoga class, and many lavender-scented things
Wednesday: Charcuterie at lunch
Thursday: Gratitude day–card making for each other
Friday: Gift bags
Bike to School Day!
On Wednesday morning, we will be biking (or walking or rolling) to school! You can bike independently, or meet up with the Arcadia group. We will meet between 8:15am and 8:45am at the corner of Greenvale and Manitou in Northfield, then head out at 8:45am. We’ll be accompanied by a Northfield PD bike officer! When we arrive at school, anyone who biked can gather (out front if the weather is okay, or in the Great Room if it’s not), and we’ll have a quick celebration before the school day begins!
Here is a link to let us know you’re participating: Walk, Bike, Roll to School Day, May 8, 2024

Teen Health Message from Healthy Community Initiative (HCI)
Talk to your teens about the risks associated with marijuana use.
Make sure they know the facts.
It’s illegal for people under age 21 to use and possess marijuana in Minnesota, and the legal ramifications could vary widely. If your child is in possession of marijuana, they will be disqualified from participating in sports and activities. In addition, using marijuana before age 18 may affect how the brain builds connections for functions like attention, memory and learning.
