IT WAS THE BATTLE OF BOOKS!!!
After one of our biggest snow blizzards in Sand Point our students returned to school all ready to go for the District Battle
of the Books. A Battle of 54 book titles was fought amongst the best of our readers.
We had tiebreaker rounds with more questions than the regular 16-battle questions. Concentration and staying on the top of
their game our high school team came out with a glorious victory. Our 3rd-4th grade team needed to give the victory flag
over to Cold Bay. The 5th-6th grade team was declared the winner without a battle because there was no competition from
the entire district. The 6th-8th grade team showed good effort of working together during their battle and were edged
out of being the winners by one question.
I was very happy to see these kids to do the battles. I’m proud of their performances. I hope they all continue to read,
because as I always state the truth of the fact: “READERS ARE WINNERS!â€
Our teams that battled were:
Edmond, Eliana, Logan, Acey, Jermaine for the 3rd-4th grade, Brittany, Griffen, and Joseph for the 5th-6th grade,
Dantezza, Wolf, Payton and Ashlyn for the 6th-8th grade and representing the High School
was Jillian, Chloe, Marissa W. (Geoff may join them at the State Battle)
Good luck with the State Battles and all future battles!

ALASKA PTA WELLNESS GRANT APPLICATIONÂ Available! Download this as a Word Document. Text of the announcement is below.
ALASKA PTA WELLNESS GRANT APPLICATION
Up to $3,500 To Fund Obesity Reduction Ideas
For Local PTAs or Parent Groups.
Obesity and diabetes are on the rise in Alaska, affecting individuals of all ages, from all areas of the state, of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, and with all levels of education and income.
Among Alaska youth and adults:
- Two out of every three adults and one of out of every three kindergarteners are overweight or obese.
- 18% of Anchorage School District students (K-12) were obese in the 2007-2008 school year.
- 75% of obese children become obese adults.
- In 2006, the prevalence of diabetes among obese Alaskans (12.0%) was six times higher than among normal weight Alaskans (1.8%); 3.9% of overweight Alaskans had diabetes.
- In 2006, an estimated 27,155 Alaskans had diabetes, up 63% since 2001.
- 60.7% of Alaskans with diabetes were obese.
Alaska PTA would like to invite parent/community groups or local PTAs to apply for these grants to reduce obesity in your area by improving food choices, reducing screen time and increasing physical activity.
The grant is two-fold:
1)Â Â Apply for a grant to fund your idea that reduces screen time, increases physical activity and reduces sugar sweetened beverages to promote the health and wellness of our Alaskan children and
2)  Teams of two from each community must attend a two-day training (paid for in full by AK PTA September 28th & 29th) using the WE CAN! (Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition) Parent Program.  (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/obesity/wecan)
Reversing this trend will require a comprehensive community approach that involves local PTAs, parents, community partnerships, schools and the students themselves.
In addition to the application form, you will also find an idea page that lists resources and suggestions to help you in planning your project. Your parent group or PTA may apply for up to, and not to exceed, $3,500 in grant money. Applications must be completed and received by the State PTA office by
April 30, 2012, 2pm to be considered.
Grant applications may be sent electronically, by fax, or by mail.
