Townsend Elementary starts “Kids Heart Challenge!”
Townsend Elementary is kicking off a service-learning program called “Kids Heart Challenge.” This is for grades 3-5.
Parents can register their students by visiting: http://www2.heart.org/site/TR?fr_id=9739&pg=company&company_id=462250.
This is a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. Students will raise funds and through fun activities, they’ll discover ways to take care of their hearts and brains while practicing kindness, gratitude and learning ways to de-stress. Students also have the chance to earn PE equipment for the school!


All student after-school activities for Tuesday, January 23 have been canceled. This includes the wrestling match against Windsor.
Also, Friday's wrestling match vs. Oneonta will now be in Walton. It was originally scheduled for Downsville
