Dear Parents/Guardians, At this time of year we tend to see an increase in the number of cases of head lice. Please watch your child for the following symptoms:

• Please inspect your child’s head for the possibility of head lice. Look for small silvery nits fixed to the hair shaft, similar in appearance to dandruff, but not easily removed.

• Where nits have hatched, live lice may be seen. • If nits or lice are found, please call your healthcare provider regarding appropriate

treatment. Your child should stay home from school until he or she has been treated.

• Follow the directions for any medication carefully. Cream rinse and conditioners can decrease the effectiveness of the treatment.

During the school year, it is a good idea to check you child’s head weekly, or when he or she complains of having an “itchy” scalp. Talk to your child and remind him or her not to share or borrow combs, brushes, hats or scarves. Please contact the Health Office at (845) 528-8092, Ext. 1106 if you have any questions or if your child is diagnosed with head lice. Sincerely, Kathy Hill R.N. School Nurse

While all books are gold-medal contenders, it’s important to take the time to understand the difference between fiction and non-fiction. Fiction is a story invented by the writer. It can include real people and events, but the story is made up. Non-fiction is based entirely on factual information.

There are a number of different genres of books you can read. Use the check boxes to mark which types of books are in the fiction genre and which are in the non-fiction genre. Then list a book you have read in that genre.

Just as any athlete should eat a well-balanced diet, you should read different types of books.Have fun this summer by trying different genres. Start your reading list here.

Leaping Into New RolesACTIVITY 3

In both fiction and non-fiction, reading allows us to leap into the roles played by other people, whether they’re historical figures or invented characters. List five characters or people you’ve read about who have faced challenges as individuals or as a team, and describe one way in which each is like you, and one way in which each is different.

Strengthen Your ImaginationACTIVITY 4

Reading helps us develop and strengthen our imagination. It helps us create new worlds in our minds, filled with endless possibilities. Use the space below to imagine and describe a sporting event that you would like to include as part of a triathlon. You can mix real sporting events like running, swimming, or bicycling, with imaginary elements from books that you enjoy reading, such as superheroes, animals, or robots. How about a tug-of-war contest between your favorite superhero and a powerful robot? Anything is possible in your imaginary triathlon event, so stretch your imagination as far as it can go!
