Eagle Parents:
What an amazing day! Fun Run was a huge success and we had possibly the best weather we have ever had for the event! The students did a great job and worked very hard! Thank you so much to all the parents and grandparents who took the day off or gave up time in the day to support the Fun Run! We could not do it without! A special thanks to the Eagle PSG and in particular to our chairwoman Gail Moore for doing an outstanding job on the organization as well as to Paris January and Erin Weesner for all the work behind the scenes! In two weeks we will have our Fun Run Celebration!
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Counselor's Corner
September Character Trait:
The character trait for the months of September is
RESPONSIBILITY. Responsibility means that we are accountable for what we say and do: All of our choices are our own. This week talk with your child about how our choice to be responsible doesn't just affect us-it affects those around us, too. Ask your child what would happen if he/she didn't pick up the toys in the living room: Someone else could trip and fall. If the dishes don't get washed, no one will have clean dishes to use at the next meal. Our choice to be responsible helps us and those around us.
Eagle Elementary School Career Day 2016: Presenters Needed!
We are very excited to offer our grade 3- 5 students the opportunity to participate in Career Day again this year! Each student will select 3 presentations to attend, offering them the chance to learn first-hand about careers that interest them. At this time we are seeking 20 volunteers to present information about their careers and 2 people to help with reception set-up and clean-up (We can reimburse you for the items you purchase.). Your help with this event would be greatly appreciated! If you would like to volunteer, we will provide you with a form that can be completed and returned to Mrs. Rose at school. (Feel free to email it back to her or send it as a hard copy.). Career Day will be on Thursday, November 17 from 2:00 - 3:40pm.
Body Safety Parent Preview Night
Tuesday, November 1, 2016, 6:00 - 7:00
at Eagle Elementary (cafeteria)
Parents are invited to attend this meeting to learn about the age-appropriate lessons that will be taught to your children this school year by the elementary school counselors. Unfortunately, recent counts show that sexual abuse of children takes place more often than we would like to believe. As a result, our children need to be taught assertiveness and self-protection skills to prevent such tragedies. This program is presented in a non-threatening, informative way.
Parents, please join us so that you can see the videos and hear about the lessons that will be presented at each grade level. For the lessons we will be using the same videos as last year for all grades, with the exception of 4th grade: A different video will be used this year.
Body and Personal Safety Program
The school counselor will be conducting body and personal safety lessons with students in grades K-5 the week of November 7. Unfortunately, sexual abuse of children takes place more often than we would like to believe. Through these lessons, we will provide children the opportunity to learn assertive self-protection skills, differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate touches, and identify people to whom they can go for help. Students in grades K - 3 will learn the appropriate names of male and female private body parts, and anatomically correct dolls will be shown. All students will participate in the program. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Rose or Mr. Hoover.
Parents, please check the Flyer Folder for important information regarding body safety and how to discuss this topic with your child.
Students will attend the lesson with their grade level. The schedule is anticipated to be:
Kindergarten
Mrs. Mybeck's and Mrs. Collins'classes: Monday, November 7
Mrs. Pacey's and Mrs. Courtney's classes: Tuesday, November 8
Mrs. Ruppel's and Mrs. Nolz's classes: Thursday, November 10
1st Grade: Monday, November 7
2nd Grade: Tuesday, November 8
3rd Grade: Thursday, November 10
4th Grade: Tuesday, November 8
5th Grade: Thursday, November 10

Influenza vs. Cold vs. Seasonal Allergies
&
The Importance of Flu Shots
As we say goodbye to summer the signs of fall start to appear. The temperature gets cooler and the leaves begin to change colors as they fall from the trees. Along with the fall season comes the dreaded flu season. As the weather changes, you or your child may start to experience sneezing, sniffles, and a sore throat and start to question whether it's a cold, seasonal allergies, or influenza, commonly known as the flu. It can be difficult to tell them apart because many of the symptoms are similar, but understanding the differences will help you choose the best treatment.
Cold, flu, and seasonal allergies all affect your respiratory system but each condition has key symptoms that set them apart. Colds and the flu are caused by different viruses whereas allergies are caused by your immune system reacting to a trigger, or allergen, which is something you are allergic to (Ex: Pollen, pet dander).
Both cold and flu can lead to a runny/stuffy nose, congestion, cough, and sore throat. However, with the flu, symptoms tend to be more severe. The flu can also cause a high fever that last for 3-4 days, along with a headache, fatigue and general aches and pains. These symptoms are less
common with a cold, although young children can experience a fever with a cold.
Allergies occur when you are exposed to an allergen/trigger and the immune cells in your nose and airways overreact to these harmless substances by releasing histamine. Histamine causes the delicate respiratory tissues to swell and your nose may become stuffy or runny. Allergies can also cause itchy, watery eyes which normally do not occur with a cold or flu.

If you believe you or your child may have the flu and the symptoms are severe or become severe, please seek medical attention immediately to
avoid complications, such as bronchitis and pneumonia among others. Prevention is the key to dealing with the flu season. The BEST way to prevent the spread of germs is to properly wash your hands often, as well as avoiding close contact with anyone who may have the flu, and getting the flu vaccine every year.
The flu is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a recent study showed that the flu vaccination was associated with a 74% reduction in flu-related hospitalizations of children during the 2010-2012 flu seasons. It is especially important that individuals who are at greater risk of developing serious flu complications (young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems or chronic health conditions) get vaccinated yearly. The CDC recommends that individuals be vaccinated as soon as a vaccine becomes available, if possible by October. It takes about two weeks for the body to produce antibodies to provide protection against the flu. For further information regarding the flu, please consult a physician and/or visit the CDC website at
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/index.htm.
