Today, at 2:22 pm, we did a run-through of our Giant Domino with the donated cereal! We are in need of more cereal boxes to make this work as planned.

Please consider sending in another box or two for the full run of this fun activity on Friday, February 25th. All cereal will be donated to Martha's Cupboard afterwards. Thank you for your support.

Get ready to have some fun! We are looking for acts for our first Holy Family's Got Talent! Application form and guidelines (see attached) are available in front of Mr. Walzer's Music Room. Application forms are due on or before Tuesday, March 1st.

Auditions will be held on Tuesday, March 8th and Wednesday, March 9th from 3:00-4:30 pm at the Music Room. Performers will be dismissed at 4:30 pm.

We are excited to see our 5th-8th Graders showcase their talents!

Holy Family adheres to the following procedures approved by the Neshaminy Board of School Directors for the administration of medication during the school day:

• Medication will be administered to students only when failure to take the medication will jeopardize the health of the student, or the student would not be able to attend school if it is not administered.
• Prescription medication must be sent in the original pharmaceutical container and accompanied by a physician’s order to take the medication during the school day.
• Over-the-counter medications, which are not listed on the student’s emergency card, will not be administered unless they are in their original container and accompanied by a physician’s order to take the medication during school hours.
• If a child is to self-administer a medication during the school day, for example, an inhaler, written permission from the child’s physician is necessary.
• All medicines, prescription or over-the-counter, must be brought to school by the parent/guardian and not sent to school with the student or they will not be administered. This includes such things as Tylenol, cough drops, Tums, etc. The nurse has the responsibility of administering all medications.
