On February 19, the Iowa Department of Public Health and Human Services released an updated version of Child Illnesses and Exclusion Criteria for Education and Child Care Settings. It lists influenza, COVID-19, and RSV under a new category entitled Respiratory Illness.

Children with respiratory illness (including COVID) are to remain home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication AND other symptoms are mild and improving. COVID-19 Fact Sheet.

The Forest City School District, Forest City Indian Sports Boosters and Threads Algona have teamed to launch an online spirit shop that will be available to order from year-round!

The online shop, called Forest City Spirit Shop, will feature a basic selection of Forest City (FC) and Indians-branded merchandise and apparel for all ages and sizes. Orders ship directly to customers.

Indian Sports Boosters, teams and other organizations will continue to offer opportunities to order items throughout the year as they always have. The Forest City Spirit Shop provides an option when those stores are not available, for families new to the community or for those looking to purchase and ship a gift.

The Forest City Spirit Shop is managed by a third-party vendor, Threads Algona, in partnership with the Forest City Indian Sports Boosters and the school district. All proceeds from the spirit shop will benefit Forest City athletics.

We love our Partners in Education!

Recently, Lichtsinn RV and their team members presented a generous donation to the district via their We Care Charitable Giving Foundation! The donation will be used towards the purchase of STEM kits for elementary-age students.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TEAM LICHTSINN RV!
