Did You Know?

Noise Induced Hearing Loss

When students are using headphones or earbuds while working on their iPads, be aware of the volume level on their ears. If you can hear music or people talking when standing next to the student, then the volume is too loud!

Book Recommendation

Freddie and the Fairy

Freddie finds a fairy, tangled in a tree. Freddie is desperate for a pet, so when he rescues Bessie-Belle and she offers to grant his wishes, he knows just what to ask for. The only problem is that Bessie-Belle can't hear very well, and Freddie tends to mumble, and Freddie is given a net. So they keep trying. Luckily, the Fairy Queen is on hand to explain.
