During the month of March, NAC Elementary students have participated in the thrilling 5th annual March Madness Book Tournament! This year's theme is football, and the competition between books is intense! As we enter the semi-final "conference championships" round of competition, we are down to the last four challengers: "Bad Kitty
Does NOT Like Video Games" vs "So Cozy" and "Creepy Crayon" vs "Nugget and Fang." The final, "Super Bowl" championship round will be held Friday, March 28. Ask the elementary student in your life which book they will be voting for and encourage them to dress up in the color or costume that supports their book champion on Friday.
May the best book win!

The NAC Elementary March Madness book tournament returns for its 5th year on March 3! This year the theme has changed to football, with the culminating Super Bowl of Books on March 28th.
Each day of March, students will watch read-aloud videos of that day's book contestants and vote as a class for which book they would like to advance in the competition bracket. At the end of the month, we'll have a champion! Students and staff are encouraged to dress up for the March 28 finale by donning an outfit in the colors, style, or characters of the favorite they're rooting for.

The Clinton County Health Department and University of Vermont Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) have begun the fourth iteration of Clinton County’s Community Health Assessment. The assessment tells our community’s health story while identifying the direction we want to go to make our programs, systems and approaches more accessible, equitable and aligned with residents’ needs.
One of the first steps in the process is gathering feedback from as many Clinton County residents as possible. This is where you come in!
Step 1: Visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/CHA2025 to complete the short survey.
Step 2: Share the survey link with your faculty and staff and encourage them to participate.
Step 3: Share the survey link with your school community (parents & caregivers) and encourage them to participate.
Want to do more to help? You can also visit our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/clintonhealth) and share one of our many posts encouraging participation.
Taking the survey is an easy way to show your community you care about its health and wellbeing. The answers you provide will help shape future community health activities.
Thank you for your support.
