America’s Field Trip Contest

As we look forward to this occasion, students in Grades 3-12 from across the nation are invited to participate in the America's Field Trip Contest. Entrants will submit writing or artwork that answers, ‘What does America mean to you?’ The link contains all contest rules and submissions are due by April 16, 5pm EST. As there are multiple slots for first- and second-pace winners, we encourage all eligible students to participate!”

The winter has brought a variety of viruses to share. We have had norovirus, flu A, covid, common cold and a virus that presents with headache and then fever. Students have been reminded to wash hands with soap and water, not touch their eyes, nose or mouth with fingers and to block their coughs. Staying home for 24 hours passed a fever of 100.4, vomiting or diarrhea will help prevent the spread to others. Staying hydrated with water, eating foods rich in vitamin C and getting plenty of rest will help reduce susceptibility to any germs. Let's hope that February is a better month to be healthy!

Please continue to report symptoms when calling out your child sick. It is helpful to know what illnesses are in the building.
