Greetings
Greetings
We had a busy week of fun activities! We had the "Great Ball Race " to inspire writing for a personal narrative, reading buddies with Mrs. Giguere's class and had an all school meeting on Friday and learned about a new game on the playground called Tether Ball. We also had an integrated arts time with Mrs. Aucter and made thankful trees.
The students enjoyed their stuffed animal day and did an amazing job of keeping their stuffed animals calm and quiet.

Periodic Reminder to Check Your Child for Lice and Nits
This notice serves as a reminder to check your child’s head for lice periodically. Consider checking weekly. Head lice are tiny, crawling insects that live in the human hair. They do not fly or jump. The females lay eggs called nits on the hair shaft close to the scalp, often at the nape of the neck and behind the ears. The nits are small, oval-shaped specks that can vary from whitish to brownish in color, and are firmly cemented in place and cannot be brushed or flicked away.
Persistent itching of the head and back of the neck can indicate head lice. Most important is the examination of the hair and scalp, especially the nape of the neck and behind the ears, for nits. Lice outbreaks are common in school-aged children. Even the cleanest child can become infested. It is not a sign of poor health habits or being dirty. If you discover lice or nits, ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider about treatment options. School nurses can also answer questions about head lice
