A Note from The Clinic - Stomach Virus
|
There have been a number of students out sick this week with a stomach virus. As you may know, common symptoms associated with a stomach virus include a low grade fever, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping. In order to reduce the likelihood of transmission it is important to remember to use good handwashing practices, avoid sharing food or drinks, and to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, please keep them home and have them evaluated by their pediatrician. Your child must be symptom free and fever free, without the use of fever reducing medication, for 24 hours in order to return to school.
Sincerely,
|

Library Volunteers Needed
|
Mrs. Fostey invites you to help out in the school library. You can volunteer during your child’s
library time, or choose another time if that best fits your schedule. The time commitment is for 30 minutes, and there are various volunteer opportunities in the library – from helping kids choose books, to helping by re-shelving books that have been returned. Volunteers must be Virtus trained. Please click
HERE to go to the Library Volunteer Interest Form to let us know if you are interested in helping. Once we know how many volunteers are available we will schedule a volunteer meeting and coordinate schedules at that time. Please let
Mrs. Fostey know if you have any questions.

Calling All Musicians!
We are looking to gauge interest in an After-School Symphonic Orchestra program at St. Cecilia, potentially in collaboration with a few other schools in the Bunker Hill area. This ensemble will be open to 5-8
th graders who play an orchestral string instrument (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass), Woodwinds (Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone), Brass (Trumpet, F. Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba) and Percussionists. If you are interested in joining up with this group, please
fill out our interest form – we’ll be reaching out to interested students directly.
This ensemble will be led by
Mr. Edgar, our new music teacher, – a veteran band director, who has taken ensembles to national music festivals in San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Carnegie Hall. We are looking into participating in some local music festivals such as the Texas Private Music Educators Association events, as well as a potential trip to the Schlitterbahn SoundWaves Music festival in the spring.
We’re looking for any and all students with any level of experience on an Orchestral instrument, and who are looking to be part of the founding class of a brand new organization at St. Cecilia – We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
