Wear Blue for Celiac Strong Day-May 16th
Kylie Connor, an 11th-grade student at Carroll Senior High School, is organizing a national event called Celiac Strong Day at Carroll Schools. This year, she is collaborating with nine schools in the district to make the event a success. Celiac Strong Day is celebrated annually on May 16th to raise awareness and support research for celiac disease. Kylie invites everyone in the Southlake community to show their support by wearing blue on May 16th.
Learn more about Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the small intestines and is triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. In individuals with celiac disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the small intestine when gluten is ingested, quickly leading to damage or villi, nutrient absorbers. As a result, individuals with celiac disease may experience a range of symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of focus, weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies. If left untreated, it will quickly turn into osteoporosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Lupus, Addison's disease, and Adenocarcinoma.
Medication/Prescription Pick Information
Please be advised if your child has medication or health supplies in the school clinic they need to be picked up on or before the last day of school, May 22th. For our students’ safety and security, we will not send medication home with any student. All medications, prescription and over the counter, will be destroyed at the end of the day on May 22, 2025. No medication will be “held over” for the next school year.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Enjoy your summer!
