Counselor's Character Corner
Compassion is the character trait we are focusing on for the months of November and December. Students are learning that compassion means being caring and understanding of how others feel. It is important to use kind words toward others such as "please", "thank you", "great job", "you look nice today" or a simple smile and "hello" to someone. Encourage your children to practice smiling and saying nice things to others and see how many smiles they get in return! Kindness can be contagious and it is certainly worth catching!

Clinic Request
|
|
Now that winter is approaching and bringing cooler weather, I want to remind parents to please dress their child appropriately for the cold temperatures. Recess is outdoor unless for extreme cold or precipitation. Please make sure your child has a warm coat, gloves and hat to wear. Also, socks and appropriate shoes are important for outside recess. Now is also a good time to remind them to also not share hats to help prevent in the spread of lice.
With winter comes flu season time. To clarify, this is the respiratory flu that is spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions. You have probably seen flu shot tables at Wal-Mart, CVS etc. It is important to vaccinate your child for prevention of illness. While anyone can get influenza, the rates of infection are highest in children. This is NOT a mandatory school vaccine but is recommended by the Center of Disease Control (CDC) for children older than 6 months. For younger children, it may be given in 2 doses for immunity. If you have any questions, please contact your pediatrician or family doctor.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions regarding your child's health and wellness.
Thank You,
Brown Elementary School Nurses
