This is a short video we created to promote our Walking for Wellness program.

Staff, Students, Parents and Grandparents are participating. Walkers meet in the Elementary gym starting at 7:30 and walk at their own pace.

We hope you join us and walk for your wellness.

We have had several cases of pink eye throughout the entire school since returning from Christmas break.  Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation of the eyes caused by a virus or bacteria. The symptoms may include redness and itching of the eyes, a gritty feeling in the eye, discharge of yellow or white matter from the eye, blurred vision and sensitivity to light. Pink eye is transmitted by direct contact with a person already infected, through things such as clothing, toys, desktops, hands, and by sharing eye make-up etc.  Pink eye is very common among children and is extremely infectious.  After diagnosis by a physician, exclusion from school for a minimum of 24 hours and possibly longer is mandatory.  It is always important to practice good hand washing to eliminate or reduce the chance of spreading any type if infections, illnesses, and viruses.

Tips for at home to help prevent spreading to other family members:

• change bedding (pillowcases) daily until non-contagious period is over
• wash infected clothing (coats, scarves, mittens, washcloths, towels, everyday clothes, etc) separately from other family members
• throw away contacts replace with new ones after infection is gone
• do not share make-up, discard mascara
• sanitize play area, wash toys, remotes, games, phones, etc
• wash hands often
