It’s time once again to start preparing for the annual school musical! This year, we will produce the classic, Golden Age musical Guys and Dolls. Auditions will be after school on October 5th and 6th. Check the Call Board outside of the Black Box theatre room located behind the auditorium for sign-ups. Those interested in auditioning will need to prepare a song of their choice and be prepared to learn a short dance combination before they audition. The audition will also consist of a cold read. If you have any questions, ask Mrs. Justice or Mrs. Powell.

Boo To The Flu
Students remember that illnesses like colds, flu, mono, and stomach bugs can be passed from one person to another. Here are three quick tips to help keep yourself healthy:
1. Wash your hands
2. Cover your cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve and not your hands
3. Don’t share food or drink
Here is some additional information and healthy reminders for students and their families.
Health Reminders
Proper hygiene is important to remain healthy. Always remember to:
- Carefully wash hands before and after changing diapers, using the toilet, eating, preparing food, and handling animals.
- Ensure that small children are washing hands after using the toilet.
- Regularly disinfect surfaces like doorknobs, countertops, and other high-touch items.
Children and staff with vomiting, fever, or diarrhea should not attend school, childcare, or public activities until 24 hours after symptoms resolve without medication.
Let’s wash those hands and stay well!
Recordatorios de salud
La higiene es importante para mantenerse saludable. Siempre recuerde:
- La medida preventiva más importante es lavarse cuidadosamente las manos después de ir al baño, cambiar pañales, después de tener contacto con animales y antes de preparar y servir alimentos. Asegúrese de supervisar a los niños pequeños al lavarse las manos después de ir al baño.
- Asegurar que los niños pequeños están lavando las manos después de ir al baño.
- Desinfectar regularmente las superficies como perillas de puertas, superficies, y otros artículos de alto contacto.
Niños o empleados con diarrea, vómito y/o con fiebre no deberían asistir a la escuela o guardería hasta que los síntomas hayan desaparecido sin tomar medicamento para diarrea o fiebre por 24 horas.
Vamos a lavarnos las manos para mantenerse saludable!
