SUMMER EVENTS –
v Reminder the Maplewood Family Camping Trip is Aug 10-12th
v Tuesday Nights are April Hill Park nights all summer long - some might moved to Maplewood to enjoy the new playground. No specific time - show up when you like and see who is there.
- Any remaining account balances (positive or negative) on students’ meal accounts at the end of the year will be automatically held for students at their current school or transferred to students’ new schools within the district.
- If your student is leaving the district then you may call Luda, Cafeteria Manager at 503-916-5219 to arrange for a refund.
- Parents/Guardians, I’m noticing in the last couple of weeks, a lot of negative balances. Spring is a busy time of year, so let’s try to remember to send lunch money. Thanks, Luda
KEEPING CHICKENS IS FUN! - We have 4 chicks that need a home ASAP. They were hatched in an incubator in a classroom and now they need a place to call home. If you are interested in adopting these cuties and raising your own hens please contact Teri or Bob Carlson (503) 977-3458. We can't keep them ourselves as we already have our own.
SUMMER TIPS FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE
As the school year comes to a close, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of some things to keep you healthy over the summer.
q Protect yourself from the sun! Put on sunscreen of SPF 15 or more at least 20 minutes before you plan to be outside. Use it liberally and often!! Wear a hat and sunglasses for even more protection, and remember that the suns rays are the most harmful between 10 am and 4 pm.
q Head lice do not take a break in the summer! Continue to have your parents check your head weekly throughout the summer to prevent a head lice infestation. Head lice are very common and can be found anywhere! Remember to use your own pillow and sleeping bag at sleep-overs, do not share hairbrushes, and keep long hair pulled back.
q Drink plenty of water (8-10 glasses per day). Do not wait until you are thirsty to get a drink. Stay away from sugary & caffeinated drinks, water is best to prevent dehydration. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, flushed skin, headache, fatigue and decreased physical performance.
q Be careful around water. A person can drown in as little as two minutes, and in as little as two inches of water! Always swim with a buddy…never swim alone. A life jacket is a good idea, but is not a substitute for swimming safely. Always wear a life jacket if you are boating!
q Have a wonderful, safe summer!!
