MESSAGE FROM MS. STAROSTECKI... I am proud to be leading the second year of the BOKS program at RBES! As a BOKS trainer, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this (free!) program. By the end of a program session, I have watched students become more confident, stronger and adopt a health-conscious mindset. The program aims to get elementary school aged children moving in the morning to help ready their brains for a day of focused learning. BOKS was founded on the principal that ACTIVE KIDS = ACTIVE MINDS. Research has show that exercise is the single most powerful tool that we have to optimize the function of our brains. Click on the  link  to watch a quick video about what the BOKS program is all about! I encourage you to learn more about the BOKS program at  www.bokskids.ca . The registration link can be found on the Weekly Update. You have until  October 30th  to register your child and the BOKS program will begin on  November 6th. IMPORTANT DATES... OCTOBER 19
