Advocate for Gananda in NYS Budget
You may have heard that the Federal Government is providing stimulus funds to states in response to the global pandemic. We have concerns about how New York State is using this money and how it impacts Gananda CSD. We would like to ask for your help as we advocate for our schools. Please consider sending a letter to our legislative representatives. Templates for the letters and more information can be found on the Gananda website.

********************************
Lyme disease (LD) is an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of bacterium called a spirochete that is carried by deer ticks. An infected tick can transmit the spirochete to the humans and animals it bites. Often, a rash appears within 7-14 days at the site of a tick bite.
Around the time the rash appears, other symptoms such as joint pains, chills, fever, and fatigue are common, but they may not seem serious enough to require medical attention. These symptoms may be brief, only to recur as a broader spectrum of symptoms as the disease progresses. Contact your physician if you notice any symptoms.
