A note from the School Nurse:
Reminder for Immunization Schedules for attending school
The Kentucky Administrative Regulation, 902 KAR 1:060 requires all students through grade 12 receive a minimum number of immunizations for school. As a reminder, Students ages 16 or older must show proof of having received two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine. If your student has turned 16 the 2nd dose of the Meningococcal Vaccine is due. Please turn in your updated immunization record to the school as soon as possible.
Also, if your child has not completed their Hepatitis A series (2 doses, 6 months apart) please complete and turn an updated immunization record into the school.

Simpsonville Baptist Church Annual ChristmasToy Store needs your help!
This year Simpsonville Baptist Church will hold its 6th annual Christmas Toy Store on Saturday, December 14th, 8am-12pm. What started as a simple belief that families would prefer to shop for themselves at Christmas rather than receive a handout has turned into a growing ministry opportunity.
It’s exciting to think that Christmas is two short months away! We are inviting you to partner with us to ensure that families get a needed “Hand Up” to have a Merry Christmas.
The Christmas Store invites these families to purchase gifts for their children ages 1-17 at a minimal cost. Last year we served over 160 families that shopped for 400 plus children. To ensure these families have quality gifts at Christmas, we collect cash donations to purchase new toys or obtain donated new toys. This year the requested item is LEGOS.
If you are interested in donating please drop off your legos to the Youth Service Center no later than DECEMBER 6th. Thanks so much!!

Holiday Assistance
Simpsonville Baptist Church 6th Annual Toy Store
By invitation only-contact the Youth Service Center
Mission: offer families a dignified shopping experience where we offer a hand up, not a handout.
Target Population: families that make "too much" money to qualify for assistance, but still struggle financially and could use a hand up. Single parents, grandparents raising grandkids, etc.
How does our store work? Families are given the opportunity to “shop” in our store filled with NEW toys that have been donated from the community. The toys are discounted to nearly one fifth of their retail value, giving parents/guardians the opportunity to shop for their own children at a discounted price. Our store does not make a profit, all of the money that is collected goes back into the store to buy more toys.
When: December 14th
Where: Simpsonville Baptist Church
