Hello Heath Brook families,

Mrs. Smallidge, our librarian, shared a neat opportunity for families...

I've noticed an uptick recently in first graders checking out Junie B. Jones books. The Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham is putting on a Junie B. Jones musical at the end of the month, and I thought you might want to pass this along to parents in case any of your students want to go. (I'm going with my second grader!)

Hello Heath Brook Families,

As we look forward to Spring, warmer weather, and longer days please be mindful it's never too early to start preparing for seasonal allergies. We know the symptoms of seasonal allergies can be uncomfortable, If you suspect your child may be suffering from seasonal allergies, talk to your child's pediatrician so they may prescribe the best plan.

Symptoms of seasonal allergies range from mild to severe. The most common include:

• sneezing

• runny or stuffy nose

• watery and itchy eyes

• itchy sinuses, throat, or ear canals

• ear congestion

• postnasal drip.

We are seeing an uptick in strep throat cases. When to see the doctor.

Throat pain that usually comes on quickly.

• Painful swallowing.

• Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus.

• Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate)

• Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck.

• Fever.

• Headache

• Rash

Be well,

The thing I remember best about successful people I've met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they're doing...and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they're doing, and they love it in front of others.

The Heath Brook School is one of two primary schools that serve students aged three through 7 who learn in preschool through grade 1.
