Notes from the Nurse:
Breakfast is important: Mrs. Wignot recommends children eat something for breakfast before school. It can be something simple like an apple or other fruit that can be grabbed on the way out the door. Get the kids involved by having them pick it out the night before.
Spring Allergies: Yes it is time to remind everyone about seasonal allergies and to make an appointment with your pediatrician or call and see if taking an anti-histamine is needed for your children. Prophylaxis is always better than dealing with the allergy when it presents.
