The importance of sleep.

Wow! I can't believe the school year is almost over. We have been so busy in class that this year has flown right by us. I would still like to ask you though for your help with an important matter. I am seeing that many of my students are really struggling to stay awake during the afternoon. They are telling me that this is due to them going to sleep late at night. Research shows that children need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep each night in order to be alert for school and living a healthy lifestyle. Please be sure that your child goes to bed early enough to get plenty of rest. Between nine and ten at night is a suggestion. Thank you again for your support.
