Giving Fair Update
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Giving Fair a huge success. The stands were consistently busy, and the 4th Graders felt very proud of their work. Many students sold out of their stock and took orders for additional sales. The grand total earned at the Fair was $2,395 which brings our overall Giving Project total to $4,013.90.
Day School Community Highlights
No School on Presidents Day
Reminder: Students will not have school on Friday, February 17 during parent teacher conferences. School will also be closed on Monday, February 20 for Presidents Day.
Cold and Flu Season
We have had several students sick recently with colds and flu. Here are some things to keep in mind to help your kids keep germs to themselves:
Wash/sanitize your hands often.
Cover your mouth & nose using the bend of your elbow or a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then wash your hands.
Keep your hands away from your eyes and mouth.
Don't share water bottles, food, or personal items with others.
Keep sick kids at home. They must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication. For details on our sick policy, refer to page 7 of the student parent handbook.
Keep hydrated.
Get plenty of sleep.
