    Did you know….
    Mt. Fuji is a VOLCANO!
    *The last eruption began in November 1707
    *It's been dormant since February 1708
    *It's 12,388.45 feet high
    *or 2.34 miles above sea level at the top
    *The temperature averages 40.8 degrees F in July
    *A torii, a traditional Japanese gate which symbolically marks the transition toward holiness, is found at the summit.
    *Considered a sacred mountain by the Japanese, about 200,000 people climb it every year.
    *The forest at the base of the mountain is named Aokigahara. Folk tales and legends tell of demons, ghosts, and goblins haunting the forest.

A Day Without Shoes - April 5 and 6

Children in developing countries often grow up barefoot. Many are not allowed to attend school without shoes and they are often injured or exposed to harmful minerals, which can lead to serious medical conditions. On April 5th and 6th you will have the opportunity to go barefoot during social studies class to help raise awareness of what children in developing countries face everyday. While it might sound like fun to go without shoes during class, think about what it would be like if you had to go barefoot for miles while you walk to school, get clean water or find medical help. Click here for more information:  A Day Without Shoes .  Go to Events, Find an Event, Barefoot Learning at Eubanks, if you would like to sign up.
