Message from the Principal
Kathy Foster
Hart Family and Friends,
I want to start by saying thank you to our wonderful PTA for sponsoring today's author visit. Michael Anthony Steele was a huge hit, and the students had a great time! Our kindergarten and preschool friends enjoyed an egg hunt and their baskets were filled to the top when they left at the end of the day. What a great way to head into a three-day weekend!
Happy at Hart,
Kathy Foster

This Month - LISD Legacy Reads - Walk a Mile in My Shoes
This is a district wide reading experience that will foster and promote a community of readers.
The goal is to encourage empathy, perspective taking, and acceptance by prompting Leopards to read books,both fiction and nonfiction, about people who are different from themselves.
By immersing ourselves in the stories of others, we can better understand the paths they choose to follow and experience what it means to "
WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES
."
This is our theme for this year's Legacy Read at the elementary schools throughout the month of April.
Each campus will be collecting NEW socks for ACO and USED running shoes to recycle through Run-On.
This can be a creative, fun and meaningful Family Project.
Displays will be placed in the library.

Message from the Nurse
NEW! ILLNESS
Currently, we are seeing a few viruses (kiddos are testing negative for flu and strep) that are presenting with fever, cough, sore throat, nausea/vomiting, lack of appetite, and lack of energy. Not all are experiencing all of these symptoms. There is a stomach virus going around which most predominate symptoms are nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. Some symptoms are last up to a few days, kids seem to be feeling better and then symptoms reappear.
We are also seeing many allergy related symptoms (eye irritation seems to be the worst this week).
Flu and strep have declined (at the moment). Some are not experiencing typical symptoms of strep throat such as fever and sore throat (some are only complaining of a headache and/or stomach ache).
Symptoms of the flu may include (but may not be experience by all) are: fever, chills, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, cough, diarrhea, headache, body aches, sore throat. It seems that the most common symptoms with Flu this year are fever, sinus congestion, headache, stomach ache, and eye pressure.
Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help protect others.
The most effective way to protect ourselves for coming in contact with bacteria and viruses are:
- Frequent hand washing with soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol, when soap and water aren't available.
- Avoid direct contact with body fluids of people who are obviously sick
- Be kind and cautious with cough and sneezing--cover mouth and nose and use tissues
- Fever of 100 degrees or higher indicate student should not come to school until 24 hours fever free (without medicine) and additional concerns of illness are best discussed with your Physician
- Do NOT share food, drinks, utensils with others
- Flu shots are available in the community
- Be proactive, contain illness by staying home if you are sick, and prevent the spread of germs
Thank you for your cooperation!

Counselor's Corner
In Guidance next week we will continue our lessons in safety. We will discuss who would be defined as a don't know (anyone we don't know). We also define examples of safe side adults (like our Mom and Dad). We will give examples of situations that may be tricky and tips on how to maneuver those. Some of the tips include, don't open the door, beware of tricks, and don't know, don't talk. Students will watch a video that's well received by kids called The Safe Side - Stranger Safety. Please talk to your kids and define your safe side adults (someone you trust that will protect them).
In the meantime, have a safe and happy Easter.
Sincerely,
Ms. Kennaugh
