News from Nurse Teske

Tis the season for LICE!! Lice are tiny, wingless insects

that live on the human scalp. They are as big as sesame seeds . Nits are lice eggs. They are on the hair shaft and can’t be brushed away. Using a nit comb is the best way to remove the nit. Lice can’t fly or jump from one person to another, they can only crawl. Children often get head lice from head to head contact, but many can get them from sharing personal

items such as a hat, comb and headbands. If you no-

tice your child scratching his or her head often espe-

cially behind the ears or at the nape of the neck, check these

areas and DON’T PANIC. You can treat their head

with over the counter lice shampoo and a conditioner that will help remove the nits. It is really important to remove the nits because they will hatch and reinfest the scalp. It is important to wash clothes in hot water including bed sheets. Vacuum and make sure you put the vacuum bag in another bag after use to dis-card. Stuffed animals that they play with should be put in a plastic bag and kept in the garage for at least 2 weeks. Wash all hair brushes and combs in hot wa-ter. Encourage your child not to share hats , brushes or combs with each other. Should your child come down with lice, let the school nurse know and after doing the steps to get rid of them, you child can return to school and the school nurse will check to make sure the lice are gone.

Dear Parent,

Your school is participating in our annual Spread the Love peanut butter food drive

from September 1 -- September 30. Spread the Love is designed to be a fun and

engaging way for students to participate in Hunger Action Month and learn about

the needs of their community while also fostering their competitive spirit in order to

raise jars of peanut butter for the hungry.

Why peanut butter? Peanut butter, like meat and eggs, is rich in protein. While meat

and eggs can be expensive, peanut butter can be an inexpensive and feasible diet

staple for low-income families. The Food Bank gives away more than 96,000 jars of

peanut butter each year. Our goal for Spread the Love is to collect more than

20,000 jars by September 30th.

My sincere hope is that Spread the Love will allow your child to become aware of

hunger in our region and give them the opportunity to take action and help provide

food and hope to those in need. The gift of our time, energy, passion, and most im-

portantly our empathy can positively impact the lives of our impoverished neigh-

bors.

As a member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger relief charity, the

Food Bank of Northwest Indiana created Spread the Love to give school children the

opportunity to become hunger relief advocates in their community. Thank you in

advance for your participation.

Sincerely,

Victor Ortiz “Mr. Food Man”

Woo!!! HoooOOO!!!
