📚 Counselor and Nurse News ✏️
From Our Nurse,
Mrs. Anna Maria Sheehan
New Jersey Department of Health says:
Influenza rates are low. However, the recommendation is to get flu shots because if you do get the flu, it may not be as serious as it would be without the vaccine.
Respiratory viruses are increasing. These would be symptoms of coughing, runny nose, sore throat and body aches.
Stomach viruses are also increasing. These would be symptoms of pain in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Keys for prevention:
Hand washing before eating, after using the bathroom and blowing your nose.
Cover your coughs.
Get 8-10 hours of sleep a night. Eat fruits and vegetables and drink water.
Stay home if you are not feeling well.
Thank you,
Anna Maria

⭐ Made Me Smile Students of the Month⭐
2nd Grade
Hayden Grieb
Since the beginning of second grade Hayden has exhibited all the qualities of a good role model. He is kind to his friends, very respectful to his teachers and is always looking out to help others. Hayden is very responsible when it comes to following directions and doing his best in all academic areas. It is such a pleasure to have Hayden in my class this year.
Kindergarten
Thomas Brennan
Tommy made a great transition into kindergarten and started making friends right away. Tommy is very thoughtful, kind and caring towards others. Tommy is always willing to lend a helping hand to adults or peers. Tommy takes pride in producing neat class work and takes his time. Tommy is a responsible student who is well liked by his classmates for his positivity and friendliness!
1st Grade
Giulia Viento
Giulia is a very kind and caring student. I have enjoyed getting to know her, and see her cheerful personality shine through each day. I can always count on Giulia to be a great example to others. She knows how to follow our classroom rules, and she is very respectful to myself, my student teacher, and her friends. She is also very responsible. But Giulia is even more special because not only is she a good listener, respectful, and caring, but she is helpful to her classmates. One example is, when another student needs help reading a tricky word in a book, Giulia is patient and helps them sound it out. Giulia is well liked by her classmates, and I can tell they look up to her! I am so happy and proud to nominate Giulia as our student of the month!!! 😊
⭐ Sparkling Staff of the Month⭐
Polly Brown
Aside form the millions of jobs she multi-tasks everyday, she is so nice and welcoming to every person that enters Clara Barton School.
When I say she is sweet, I mean it figuratively and literally because she brings in daily sweet treats for the staff to keep everyone happy.
She calls Mrs. Wawrzyniak, “boss” but when it comes to being in charge, I think we all know who the true boss is.
Thank you Polly for making CBS the happiest school on earth!
