					<description><![CDATA[This morning a Polk student was hit by a car while crossing the street. Thankfully, it looks like he sustained relatively minor injuries and will recover. It could have been much worse. To make certain all of our students are safe at arrival and dismissal times, please drive slowly. Please be respectful of others including the crossing guards and tell your children to cross at the crosswalks. If you are driving your child to school, it is a good idea to drop them off at a safe place to cross the street or a place where they do not need to cross the street. Safety is our first priority. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are really trying to increase our instagram followers. Right now we are just shy of 150 followers. We really want to make that grow. Mrs. Mast is starting an Instagram Pic of the Week Challenge. Every Friday she will look through all of the pics that have been sent to the d7social email address. She will select one pic as the weekly winner. She will do some celebrating with the winner each week. The winner will get a prize and some special attention! Winners could be students, staff, parents, board members, ANYONE! In order to be considered for the IG Pic of the Week Challenge you have to do TWO things:

FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! and Send pics to the d7social email address: d7social@k12mediagroup.com That's it!

Our Instagram is: dhdistrict7schools
If you have Instagram...FOLLOW US.

Please advertise the IG Pic of the Week challenge to your students!! We want kids to be the winners (for the most part).
Elementary parents...kids are too young for IG. If you send pics and win, we will let you pay your win forward to one of your students!]]></description>
