Update on my dad:
We have taken a step back on him eating on his own. The second round of chemo took a toll on his appetite. My mom is trying everything she can to get him to eat. This irritates him and then he gets a bit grumpy with her. She gets grumpy right back! So, hopefully things will take a turn for the better after the sees the doctor on Friday. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Any suggestions on how to get this man to eat are welcome!!

Good To Know- anticipated employee high absence days
For the 2015-2016 school year, we anticipate heavy employee absences on the dates listed below. Historically, Kelly Services has had a difficult time filling absences with substitutes on these dates. If possible and if an event hasn’t already been scheduled, we’d appreciate any effort you might make to avoid scheduling events on these days. Also, it would be extremely helpful if we can ask teachers to avoid Fridays for Assessment Testing. This made a huge difference last year! Beyond these, please take into consideration these high absence days:
· Friday, May 5th – SPS Graduation
· Friday, May 6th – SPS and Evangel Graduation
· Friday, May 13th – MSU and Drury Graduation
