CO-ED Volleyball Club Team (grades 6-8)
WCS is starting a CO ED Volleyball Club Team for interested girls and boys in grades 6 - 8.

The Sign-Up Sheet will be posted on the Athletics Bulletin Board across from the old gym.
Please have your 4 Athletic forms (found on the school web site under Athletics/Forms) or ask Ms. Oakes for the forms) filled out or at least a note from your parent/guardian in order to stay for the first practice.
If you have any questions please contact Ms. Oakes - 871-6194 joakes@cssu.org
A message to WCS Parents from coach Julieta: If you think your child may be interested in playing volleyball, please have them sign up ASAP. Mrs. Oakes is in the process of coordinating the schedule for practices and games with other schools, many of which already have teams getting ready. This is an opportunity for kids to start learning the basics of volleyball and hopefully get some fine tuning by the time they arrive at CVU.
Did you know? Volleyball is the second most popular sport in the world today, exceeded only by soccer. Please let Mrs. Oakes or I know if you have any questions.

February is National Children's Dental Month
Oral Health is an essential part of a healthy life
Tooth decay (cavities) is the single most common chronic disease of childhood, occurring five to eight times as much as asthma. Poor oral health has recently been linked to heart disease, low birth weight and diabetes.
Despite the reduction in cases of decay in recent years, nationally more than half of all children have cavities by the second grade, and by the time students finish high school, about 80 percent have cavities. Unless it is stopped early, dental decay is irreversible.
The good news is that dental disease is mostly preventable, and Vermont ranks high among other states in the number of people who access dental services.
Dental Cleanings
Dental Cleanings are finished at ABS, and end February 20 at WCS. Your child can receive a dental cleaning, exam, and fluoride rinse for $20. Click here for more information and sign up form.
Children who have Medicaid for insurance are eligible for a dental cleaning twice a year. If you need assistance finding a dentist please contact the Health Office.

IMPETIGO, (could this be the rash your child has)?
Impetigo, one of the most common skin infections among kids, usually produces blisters or sores on the face, neck, hands, and diaper area. The sores burst and develop honey-colored crusts. Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection and is generally caused by one of two bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes (also called group A streptococcus, which also causes strep throat). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is also becoming an important cause of impetigo.
