As educators and parents, we play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy learning environment. If your child exhibits symptoms such as a fever (100.4°F or higher), vomiting, or diarrhea, please ensure they remain home until they are symptom-free for at least 24 hours without the aid of medications. Additionally, let's promote proper hand hygiene and the importance of covering coughs and sneezes.

We are proud to announce and extend our heartfelt congratulations to the newest members of the SHS Beta Club! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence have earned you this prestigious recognition.

The National Beta Club is a prominent independent, non-profit educational youth organization in the United States, dedicated to promoting academic achievement, character, leadership, and service among students from 4th through 12th grade. In Indiana, the organization is active through various local chapters and hosts annual state conventions to foster collaboration and recognize student accomplishments.

The Indiana State Convention provides an opportunity for members to strengthen bonds within their clubs and meet fellow Betas from across the state. The event features individual and team competitions, workshops, and other activities designed to develop leadership skills and encourage service to others.

For more information about the National Beta Club's presence in Indiana, including details on local chapters and upcoming events, you can visit their official website.

Rya Hamilton, Sullivan Elementary 2nd-grade teacher, has reached out to SES families to share in a special initiative. In 2020, Mrs. Hamilton's mother proposed a project where 2nd graders could donate items to support a local agency, with the aim of helping as many people as possible. This initiative, called "Legacy of Love," was established in memory of Mrs. Hamilton's stepfather, who passed away on Valentine's Day. Mrs. Hamilton's mother was known for her generosity, frequently donating coats, shoes, socks, art supplies, clothes, and classroom supplies to SES.

Following the passing of Mrs. Hamilton's mother in October 2022, she wishes to honor her legacy by continuing this charitable effort. This year, "Legacy of Love" will expand into a school-wide project, and all families are invited to participate.

To streamline the donation process, the students have selected two local agencies to receive contributions this year. Each grade level has been assigned a specific agency for collecting donations.

• Grades K-2 will be supporting the Sullivan County Humane Shelter by collecting items such as cat food, dog food, cat litter, newspapers, paper towels, bleach, and cleaning supplies. Due to the size or weight of some items, families are encouraged to drop off larger donations directly at the shelter, mentioning they are part of the "Legacy of Love" initiative.

• Grades 3-5 will be gathering items for Sullivan County Brown Baggers, which provides food for students facing hunger in Sullivan County. The items needed include 100% fruit juice boxes (not pouches), fruit cups, tuna pouches, chicken pouches, granola bars, apple sauce, Pop Tarts, NutriGrain Bars, fruit snacks, peanut butter crackers (variety packs are acceptable), Vienna sausages, soups (tomato and chicken noodle), tuna and chicken salad kits, and macaroni and cheese pouches (not cups), along with other non-perishable items.

All donations collected will remain within the local community. Contributions will be accepted until February 14th, with pickups and deliveries scheduled for that day. Mrs. Hamilton expresses her gratitude to all families for their support in keeping her mother's legacy of giving alive at Sullivan Elementary.
