May Fair Count Down: 10 School Days!
For those following my Mega Raffle Basket Hints. Here they are again: #1 Kidz Bop makes great noize. #2 Will the wolf howl or the elephant trumpet? #3 Ears, suspenders, and polka dots. #4 AGD. #5 Life is a sidewalk; I'm gonna scout all night long. Any guesses??? Please comment on the PTO Facebook page. I will confirm or deny in a private message, but you have to keep my secrets. There are some GREAT baskets this year, and we're still getting more. I will reveal more hints and then eventually the actual contents soon. This year is sure to prove the best Fair yet.
From Mrs. Zoerb:
Medications for Field Trips / Camp / Field Day
It will soon be time for special activities including trips away from school. School policies remain in place during these activities. All prescription drugs require a Dr’s order to be given at school, at camp, on field day, or on a field trip.
If you have not submitted a Dr’s order for a prescription medication to be given @ school it cannot be given at camp, on field day, or on a field trip.
Itchy Eyes
If your child is complaining about this issue here are some simple tips to minimize the aggravating effects of pollen on the eyes. Non-medicated steps to minimize allergy symptoms include handwashing and washing pollen off the face every time the student comes inside from being outside. Taking a shower and washing hair before bed prevents taking pollen to bed, rubbing one’s face in it, and breathing it in all night. Using natural tears eye drops (w/ no extra additives) right before bed and upon arising also helps rinse irritants out of the eyes. The school has “natural tears” eye drops but does not have allergy / antihistamine eye drops, so this problem cannot be solved at school. Allergy medications such as oral antihistamines, or antihistamine eye drops, should be given at home unless, in severe cases, a primary provider writes a medication order for administration at school. As always, before giving medicine to your child, check with your health care provider for recommendations on managing your child’s symptoms .
Head Lice Happens
Continue to check your child’s head on a regular basis. Like other childhood diseases (strep throat, pinworms, mono, colds) there’s always a case somewhere. Lice do not jump, fly, or hop. They can crawl quickly and are spread through direct contact (mainly head to head contact), or by indirect contact with personal items (pillows, hats, headbands, or athletic helmets). Children should not share bedding, towels, athletic bags, or clothing. They should not share combs, headbands, clips, or barrettes. Anyone can get lice. Avoid head to head contact.
