Camp Details
What is a Mini-Economy?
The Mini-Economy is an exciting opportunity for students to
participate in a mock economy in which they will become entrepreneurs! Kids will have the opportunity to be creative as they
design and make a product to sell in our market. The kids will
take ownership of their product as they learn what it takes to
make their business and economy successful! They will have a
blast while experiencing economic principles in a real life setting
and becoming more financially literate. The week will culminate
in a high energy “market day” and pizza party!

ADOPT -A -SOLDIER
The Chantilly High School National Honor Society is working with America's
Adopt-A-Soldier again this year to host a care package drive benefitting
soldiers overseas. Our goal is to mobilize our school, the surrounding
community and all pyramid schools in packing over 300 care packages.
Donations will be collected from February 19 through April 12. Every two
weeks on a Monday, NHS officers from Chantilly will pick up any donations
at individual schools. Your support is needed to help make this project a
success. Each school has specific donation items and additional
information for your school will be coming home soon. All donations should
be packed in a plastic or brown paper bag. We are encouraging students
to donate as many packages as they feel they can over the two month
period. Volunteers will also be needed on packing day, Saturday, April 13.
This will take place in the Chantilly cafeteria beginning at 9:00am.
For more information on America's Adopt-A-Soldier, please visit
http://www.americasadoptasoldier.org/ and see the attached flyer. If you
have any further questions or concerns, please email Charles Demek at
[email protected] or at 703-915-7301. We appreciate your support of this
project and hope that you will join in uniting our community through service.

April 2013
Food and Nutrition Services has developed monthly Energy Zone articles that schools are welcome to
use in your monthly parent newsletters. Below, you will find an article for your April newsletter.
ENERGY ZONE KIDS FITNESS CHALLENGE
Research shows children copy the behavior of adults in their life. If parents are
physically active, the children will be active too. Exercise burns calories, which assist in
maintaining ideal weight. Fit adults and children exercise 60 minutes per day.
KEEP MOVING TO STAY IN SHAPE TIPS

Help your children find physical activities they enjoy.
Remember, making a healthy change takes time and don’t expect perfection.

Abril 2013
Los Servicios de Alimento y Nutrición han desarrollado artículos mensuales de Zona de Energía que
las escuelas pueden utilizar en los boletines de noticias para los padres. Abajo, usted encontrará un
artículo para su boletín de noticias de Abril.
DESAFÍO DE BUENA FORMA FÍSICA DE ZONA DE ENERGÍA PARA NIÑOS
La investigación muestra que los niños copian su comportamiento de los adultos en sus
vida. Si los padres estan físicamente activos, los niños serán activos también. Hacer
ejercicio quema calorías, lo cual ayuda a mantener un peso ideal. Los adultos y los
niños competentes hacen ejercicios por 60 minutos por día.
