We're kicking off Healthy Lifestyles with one Healthy Habit at a time. 

As part of Healthy Lifestyles, National PTA has partnered with Nestlé® Pure Life® advocating for healthy hydration practices in school for students and at home for families.

For the week of August 24 - 30, PTA members can participate in this challenge and giveaway.  Complete any six of these eight following ideas during the week of August 24-30 to be eligible to receive a year’s supply of Nestlé® Pure Life®. 

1. Watch this video.

2. Post a picture of your water trackers on social media.

3. Make fruit-infused water for the family to drink.

4. Recycle your plastic water bottles.

5. Complete an activity and show us how you hydrate before, during and after that activity.

6. Incorporate fruits and vegetables with high water content into your meals and snacks.

7. Share why your family chooses to hydrate with water and check out “How to Drink More Water Throughout the Day.”

Hello Schimelpfenig Panther Parents!  

Hopefully, the first several days of virtual synchronous and asynchronous learning have gone well in all of your houses!  Kudos to our great Schimelpfenig teachers and staff for doing such a great job with this new way of learning. 

A helpful resource for any questions or issues:  PISD's Back to School Resource page at https://www.pisd.edu/backtoschool. 

If you are a PISD volunteer, the new volunteer management system, VOLY, is up and running.  Please submit your volunteer application at plano.voly.org to create a volunteer account.

Mark your calendars for our first PTA General Assembly Meeting on Tuesday, September 1st at 9:00 a.m. -- our very first Virtual Coffee with Dr. Perry.  Check here next week for more details!
