🚨 A Message from the Health Office 🚨
|
Here at MCS we have seen a significant number of children (and some staff) out with Flu. We would like to ask parents/guardians to partner with us in making MCS a healthier place for both students and staff. Here is how you can help…
Know the signs of flu:
Flu signs and symptoms usually come on suddenly. People who are sick with flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
- Fever* or feeling feverish/chills (*It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever)
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Headaches
- Fatigue (tiredness)
- Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
If your child has been diagnosed with flu please keep them home until they have been FEVER and SYMPTOM free for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of medication.
*Due to the high number of student absences this season, any absence as a result of illness will be considered excused. If an absence extends beyond five days, a doctor’s note will be requested.
Know how long your child might be contagious:
- You may be able to pass on flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
- People with flu are most contagious in the first 3-4 days after their illness begins.
- Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others with flu viruses for an even longer time.
Help us prevent the spread of flu by keeping your children home if they are still contagious.

Hebrews: The Nearness of King Jesus
,

The book of Hebrews is a sermon for a specific people and culture but is also relevant for us today, reminding us to continue walking toward Jesus regardless of our culture or circumstances. Jesus is not a faraway God, but our redeemer who lovingly draws near to us.
Come join other MCS moms for this 7 week study.

Using the illustration of soccer, Mrs. Meyer continued our Lions’ Pact focus. In a soccer game, we might hit the ball outside the boundaries, but a teammate can help the team by putting the ball back in the game to work towards a goal. The getting the ball to the goal is still important, but when we “go out of bounds,” there is always a way back.
To help them visualize sticking to God’s path for them, TK-Second grade students watched a video of Hermie the caterpillar using a straight path to get to a friend’s party. Third – Fifth graders were encouraged to remember that God is there to help them carry the weight of life on their shoulders by listening to the King and County music video, “Shoulders.” We have included the links for you to enjoy as a family. One student from each grade was honored by their teacher for displaying a Lions’ Pact trait.

These Difference Makers brought with them all of the donations that they collected from our Toy Drive, in addition to the sports equipment they purchased with the funds they raised during last year's Expo.
