Friday: Ice Cream Party & PJ Party

Hi Parents!
K-C has raised enough money for yet another Ronald McDonald house! This is so exciting! We have now helped four families out. To celebrate and get us motivated to help another family we will be having an ice cream party on Friday :) In addition our class will also be having a PJ party on the same day because as a class we have had awesome behavior and showed that GSA really R.O.C.K.S! *Ice Cream will be provided by the school, no additional snacks will be necessary*
Thanks!

We're Going to the Zoo Tomorrow!

Lice in the Classroom

Dear Parents,
There has been several cases of Lice in the past week. Students are getting checked today by the nurse to make sure our class is cleared. I will keep you updated with the cases. Here is some information regarding Head Lice:


What is Lice?

• Lice are tiny insects that live on humans and feed on blood. When a large number of lice live and multiply on a person, it is called an infestation.

Where can Lice be found?

• Lice is usually found in hair, but it is most common on the back of the neck where hair and skin meet. Rarely, they can be found on eyelashes, eyebrows, and facial hair. Body lice lives in seams of clothing.

What causes Lice to spread?

• Lice spread easily from one person to another through close contact or through shared clothing or personal items (such as hats or hairbrushes). A louse cannot jump or fly. Please talk with your child at home about not hugging others, touching others hair, and not borrowing headbands/hats.

What do you do to prevent Lice?

• Spray your child's hair with perfume or hairspray.
• Talk to you child about not sharing hair products
• Blow dry your child's hair
• Use hair products including tea tree oil
