The 8th grade class visited the CANDLES Holocaust Museum in Terre Haute this week. They met Holocaust survivor, Eva Kor, who was one of the Dr. Mengele twins. Students listened to a 2 hour presentation, where Eva told her story and how she has forgiven Dr. Mengele and the Nazis. Afterward, they toured the museum. This was their culminating activity after a unit on "Man's Inhumanity to Man". They read Elie Wiesel's novel "Night", and then did research on other examples of man's inhumanity.

Day School Community Highlights
Also, there have been many illnesses going around this season. Please make sure you review our policies when your child is sick to help prevent the spread of illness.
Fever Policy:
Evansville Day School defines a fever as a registered body temperature of 100 F or higher. A child who has a fever should remain at home until he or she has been fever-free (without acetaminophen or ibuprofen) for 24 hours prior to returning to school. If a student is determined to have a fever while at school, the parent/guardian will be notified and the student will be sent home. This policy is in place for everyone's benefit. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school nurse.
Additional reasons that your child could be sent home without a fever include, but are not limited to:
- Vomiting (2 episodes without fever, 1 episode with fever)
- Diarrhea (2 episodes without fever, 1 episode with fever)
- Unexplained rash
- Head lice or nits
A child experiencing two or more episodes of vomiting or diarrhea in a 24 hour period need to remain at home until he or she is without symptoms for 24 hours prior to returning to school.
