Note from Jean Behnke
Dear Parents, 

Change is in the air. Suddenly, it has gone from spring to summer. (And as I write this today at 39 degrees, back to winter!). But the children are feeling it. The school year is coming to an end. The transition to summer is beginning. 
Health Office Updates
Summer Safety Tip | Skin

We are looking forward to the summer months ahead and spending more time outdoors in the sunnier, warmer weather! Next Monday, June 7 is Field Day and most of the day will be spent outdoors. Please send a hat and apply sunscreen or sunblock before your child arrives at school for Field Day.  

Skin Protection Tips
  • Use Sunscreen!
  • Use SPF 15 or higher.
  • Look for “blocks UVA and UVB” or “broad spectrum” on the label.
  • Apply sunscreen liberally (minimum of 1 ounce) at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Apply sunscreen to all exposed skin. Remember to apply to ears, scalp, lips, neck, tops of feet, and backs of hands.
  • If you are also using insect repellent, apply sunscreen first and repellent second. Sunscreen may need to be reapplied more often.
  • Throw away sunscreens after 1–2 years.
