In the immortal words of David Bowie - LETS DANCE! Next week is what would have been dance week on campus. Just because we are apart does not mean we can't shake a tail feather. Spend some time at home dancing to your favorite music and enjoying letting the beat move through you. From mental to physical benefits there are so many great things that happen when you move. You can't stop the beat!

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted photos of loved ones that served our country. Knowing that there are so many brave men and women willing to sacrifice everything from time (in increments of YEARS) at home with their families to their very lives (in some cases) is truly a remarkable thing. The strength and dedication it takes to serve in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces is nothing short of miraculous and we are so grateful for the sacrifices made to keep our country safe and assist those abroad. May we always remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms and way of life that we enjoy every single day. Thank a service man or woman this week!

If we were in school, today would have been our Pre-primary school field trip! Our plan was to visit one of our local Zoos. Since we are not able to go to the Zoo today, we wanted to share a great resource for learning about animals digitally! Below is the link to the Oregon Zoo's YouTube channel! Here, they post videos of so many exciting things! From baby goat encounters to videos of their new baby Western Pond Turtle hatchlings! I encourage you to head over to their channel and view some of these videos with your children! They are a lot of fun to watch.

Community-supported since 1888, the Oregon Zoo is a world leader in animal welfare and conservation, connecting more than 1.6 million visitors with the world...

-Soap
-Scrubbing all surfaces of your hands for at LEAST twenty seconds. Take the with the World Health Organization today! We have included links below. Let's all stay engaged in safe practices!

The CCA Bellewood Elementary program has put together a message for our Cedar Crest Family. This was an incredibly difficult video for many of us but it is all in the name of being safe and healthy and each of us is proud to do it. We are counting down the days until we are able to be together again and want you all, parents, students and staff, to know that you are in our hearts each and every day. With all the love in the world: GO OSPREYS!

FRIDAY NIGHT CAMPOUT! Since we cant currently go camping, try glamping in your living room. Pick a family activity or movie and take a night to decompress from the juggle of work week and having the kids at home to exhale together. We know that this has already been a lot of time together but it's important to remember that, when the social distancing ends, you may wish that you had enjoyed it more. Make the most of it while you can! We will see you all Monday via Zoom!

Get Creative!
There are tons of resources for easy recipes and craft projects. It might be a great opportunity to pass down one of your favorite skills to the kids or have them help out in the kitchen with your favorite recipe. Maybe play a game of Chopped Jr. Give them a few "Basket ingredients" and see where there mind takes them! Making sauces is a great place to start. For example, mixing mayonaise, mustard, hot sauce and cajun seasoning makes a great remoulade! This will let them play around with flavor (without heat or danger) and experience different cultures while staying at home. Plus you just might get something DELICIOUS out of it. Really, that remoulade is awesome.

Peek-A-Boo, we see you! On a lunch break today (if you are working from home), or maybe this evening, let everyone's inner child come out by playing a game of indoor hide and seek. Make sure to set ground rules, so it stays safe, but this will keep both mind and body engaged. If you join in you may just remember how much fun that was!
