Hooray! Hooray! June 2nd is here,

Let’s gather 'round and spread the cheer!

What a year we've shared, so bright and grand,

With every discovery, together we stand.

From learning our letters to counting with joy,

From crafting and playing, oh what a ploy!

We've blossomed together, watched our skills grow,

Now's the time to present all we know!

Let's cheer for friends who’ll soon take their flight,

To Kindergarten, where futures shine bright!

And for those who choose to stay and explore,

We'll revel in learning, with adventures in store!

Come join us in this festive affair,

With laughter, and learning, and fun to share!

We’ll sing, we’ll dance, and sweet treats will greet,

Join us as we celebrate, it will be a treat!

We can't wait to welcome you all with delight,

To a joyous occasion, a true shining sight! 🎉

If your child isn’t feeling well before school, please take a moment to decide at home whether they’re ready for the day. The clinic is always here for students who start to feel sick during school, but it works best when children arrive feeling well.

It’s cold and flu season, which means viruses are on the rise!🤒 I wanted to take the time to send home a few reminders for school attendance and what to be looking out for.

· If your child has diarrhea or vomiting within the past 24 hours, keep them home.

· If your child has a continuous or disruptive cough, keep them home.

· Temperature/fever above 100 F by mouth, keep them home. Students need to be fever free without the use of medication (Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen) for 24 hours before returning to school.

· Signs of conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) such as red, crusty or swollen eyes, keep them home.

Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses from spreading in the classroom. If your child continues to be sick, please reach out to your pediatrician for further guidance. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as possible, we thank you for your cooperation at home as well.

Playing Outside: Why It’s Important for Kids

No matter what the weather brings, playing outside is good for kids. There is scientific evidence that playing outside improves health, and children of all ages love it. Even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, outdoor time and nature exploration are safe for most kids. And we know that the more time a child spends in nature, the more likely they are to grow up to be good stewards of our planet⁠—an environmental win!
