Notes from Nurse Bankhead
- It’s that time of year! If you have sent any “as needed” medications to the clinic, please pick them up before the last day of school. After May 25th, all medications will be disposed of. Remember, students cannot take medications home, you’ll need to pick them up from the clinic next time you’re at Sparta.
- Friendly reminder to please continue to send a full change of clothes with your student - especially if in K-2 grades. Accidents, spills and wet slides happen!

Book Prom
BOOK PROM will be Friday, May 13th. Book Prom is a literacy activity meant to encourage the love of reading and give students an opportunity to share their favorite book as their “date” to the book prom. Students will want to develop a good blurb to describe and promote their book. During the prom, students will have the chance to tell everyone about their book.
We will all dress to impress that day. If you have a fancy spring outfit all ready to go, that would be perfect. Prom will take place during PE.
Think of books that have great characters and tell a good story. These should also be books that your friends can find in our school library so they can read them to.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Beierman at marissa.beierman@bisd.net

MPS Awareness Day
International MPS Awareness Day- May 15
Sparta will recognize MPS Awareness Day on May 16.

MPS diseases are rare genetic disorders that are present at birth, although symptoms may not manifest until early childhood. Such symptoms can affect different parts of the body including airway passages, ears, facial features, the skeleton and joints, eyes, the liver, and the heart.
