Flu Shots
Flu shots will be back again this year on October 3rd, beginning at 8:00 A.M. Health Heroes will be stopping at each school on this day.
There is no cost!
Parents fill out the appropriate insurance section and Health Heroes will bill the insurance for the vaccine. If it is not covered by insurance,they DO NOT ask for payment for any services. They accept non insured students as well. Health Heroes just asks that if you mark that you have insurance, provide the information.
The consent forms are linked below. They will also be coming home with students.

4-H Genealogy Project
Julie Ferguson, Decatur Township 4-H Director, is offering a unique opportunity to all Decatur Township students (although this is a 4-H project, you do not have to be a 4-H member to participate). On October 18th, from 10:00am to noon, students are invited to the Decatur Township Library Branch to learn about researching their genealogy. A person with several years of experience in genealogy will teach the students how to use Ancestry.com and will donate paperwork, notebooks, and materials to help the students begin research on their genealogy. Students are asked to bring their own tablet, but four laptop computers will be available to use/share for those without a tablet. Students below grade 3 should have a parent/guardian to help navigate the websites. Questions may be directed to Julie Ferguson at jaferg98@yahoo.com.
