Winter Formal Spirit Week

Girls Wrestling Districts
St.Charles School District College/Career/Job Fair
We are encouraging students in the district from middle school and up to participate in the fair.
As you know, early exposure to college and career activities can help set or raise the expectations of even our younger students.
The goal of this event is two-fold: 1) to provide college information and exposure to students within our district and the surrounding area and 2) to provide potential job/career information for our upcoming and future graduates in the area who are looking to enter the workforce.
Currently, we have approximately 50+ colleges scheduled to attend. We will also have several businesses that are looking to hire high school seniors upon graduation, as well as students that desire summer employment. The evening will also include a presentation by The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis who will discuss with families the college timeline and funding resources.
Students are encouraged to pre-register with StriveScan at https://app.strivescan.com/students - In addition, students who attend will be entered into a drawing for door prizes.
Please find the attached flyer for the College & Career Fair.
Thank you!

How to keep your kids healthy during flu season
1.Have kids wash their hands frequently at home and school.
Since kids often touch their mouths and faces, parents should make sure their kids’ hands are washed with soap and water to remove germs before eating, after using the bathroom, and when they come inside from playing. Hand sanitizer can be used for times it’s not possible to wash.
2.Indoors or outdoors, get active.
Kids should get regular, moderate exercise to boost their immune systems. Studies have shown that being active can help reduce cold and flu episodes.
3.Get plenty of sleep.
Children need between 9 and 14 hours of sleep a day depending on their age. Sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of getting sick.
4.Eat a well-balanced diet.
Provide meals with plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables to help boost children’s immune systems. Look for foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin D, and avoid foods high in additives, preservatives, and sugars.
5.Decrease stress.
Elevated stress hormones can lead to decreased immunity. Give kids plenty of down time for rest and creative play to help lower their stress levels and keep them from getting sick.
6.Avoid germy sharing.
Sharing is good for kids, but many commonly shared items can be breeding grounds for germs. Teach children to never share straws and cups, caps and scarves, or anything that comes in contact with their mouths and faces.
When kids do get sick, it’s important for parents to keep them home and take steps to prevent germs from spreading to others. If a doctor’s visit is necessary, a service like UI QuickCare makes it easy to see a physician without an appointment.
If you’re unsure whether an illness requires a doctor’s visit, it’s best to err on the side of caution.
