THANK GOD! I had to laugh this week, because absolutely NONE of us were talking at one point! Too busy. I just talked with a couple pediatricians and they said that we haven't had any action in this area. So I am afraid that next week may be anoth...
I hate SCABIES!!! "Prolonged skin to skin contact" can be a problem with High Schoolers! Had it go rampant thru the football team and their girlfriends a few years ago. Anyways, we do not send home a generic letter either, but I do send the student ...

I do not believe there is any threat to the schools but we have gone under precautionary lock down. There was a shooting near by and the shooter hasn't been apprehended yet. I believe the officials made a wise and justified call, but please remember ...

If you have done ANY volunteer work at a school don't forget to add that! I developed and demonstrated a drug awareness program for pre-schoolers and kindergarteners that I did on a volunteer basis. I never imagined that one day it would actually be...
