When Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast last November, South View Middle School wanted to help the victims. A "Penny Drive" was organized by Kate Drew, Meghan Siwecki, and Staci Garrison. A contest was held to reward the classroom that collected the most money. Fifteen classrooms participated in the contest. Meghan Siwecki's classroom was the winner, collecting a total of $348.00! Her AVID classroom enjoyed a well deserved pizza party. The students of South View collected over $719.00 that was donated to the American Red Cross. A ceremony was held on Friday, January 11th at South View and at that time a check was presented to the American Red Cross earmarked for Hurricane Sandy victims. First Financial Bank also donated $100.00 to the cause. We are so proud of our students!

Nurses Notes
Beginning next school year (Fall of 2013) all students entering, advancing, or transferring into 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grades will be required to show proof of receipt of one dose of the Tdap vaccine (combined tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) regardless of the interval since the last DTaP, DT or Td dose.
This requirement is important because pertussis (whooping cough) disease continues to occur throughout many Illinois communities and vaccination of children and adolescents reduces illness and absenteeism among school-age students. In addition, pertussis infections in infants can be fatal, and reducing the spread of pertussis through vaccination of community members helps to protect infants, especially those who are too young to be fully vaccinated.
Health care providers, local health departments, and pharmacies offer the vaccine. The Illinois Department of Public Health recommends that parents get their adolescents immunized now to avoid a last-minute rush during the summer. Students without adequate proof of vaccination will be subject to exclusion as described in the School Code of Illinois. |
