Cedar Community Learning Center
 |
This week
we decided to show you a little bit of what goes on at Cedar
Heights Elementary during the school day. What you are going to
see are two outstanding 5th grade teachers , Mrs. Gerkin and
Mrs. Post. They are just a small part of a successful school,
but it’s important to know what is happening and from the looks
of it, great teachers produce great students. Lets rock Cedar
Heights!

East CLC Assistant Program Director Robin McBroom and program
assistant Terry Carpenter, are pictured with a valuable volunteer
from LHS, Steffan Radatz, playing a game of boggle with Brandon
Patterson at the conclusion of the program day. Brandon had a great
time reinforcing spelling and was giving the adults a good run for
the high score. Also pictured, volunteer Fred Menigat works
with Noah Cremeans on the words for the weekly spelling test. Fred
is a great volunteer and enjoys working with the students.

Tallmadge Community Learning Center

This week we invited
Danielle Passek, a local author, to read us her book, How the Hyena
Found His Giggle Box. She also shared some ideas with us about
brainstorming and how to get ideas to write stories. We also awarded two
more students the title of HERO of the week -- Connor Earle and Bradley
Good. Good job gentleman -- you always give your best effort and we
appreciate it!

West After School Center

Every
month at the West After School Center, we have a guessing game. This
month's item was a jar half filled with candy corn. The winner was
Bailee Kiger. She guessed 275 pieces. The correct number was 281.
Congratulations to Bailee!

Children's Author Margaret Wolford (Newark,
Ohio) will be visiting our centers in November and December
No Sugar Coating
by Margaret Wolford
"Alana thinks keeping a journal is just one more boring assignment until
she realizes her life is anything but dull! Who really is Janamarie? Why
does Kimmie act so strangely outside of school? Is making mashed
potatoes that big of deal? Join Alana in No Sugar Coating as she solves
a mystery or two, learns a lesson about friendship, and endures her
mother's terrible cooking. A journal that at first seemed like a dumb
idea becomes a place to record the mysterious, wonderful, and sometimes
painful happenings in ten-year-old Alana Davis' life. No Sugar Coating
may be her first journal, but it won't be her last."
Hear Ms. Wolford at the East CLC on
November 13; WASC on December 4, the Cedar CLC on December 11, and the
Tallmadge CLC (TBD) in January, 2010. |

What you can do to protect
yourself from the Swine Flu… (source:
www.examiner.com)
Follow some common sense protections
emphasized for any flu, including seasonal flu:
-
Keep your hands washed as simple as this
sounds, it is one of your best defense in washing away viruses
effectively.
-
Use a hand sanitizer when you are unable
to wash with soap and water.
-
Avoid being near others who might be sick
to avoid breathing droplets they have sneezed or coughed, or
touching something they have touched.
-
Try to limit touching your eyes, nose and
mouth.
-
Keep your immune system healthy.
-
Eat nutritious foods-consume a varied diet
of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts to boost the immune
system.
-
Exercise daily –walk or dance in your
home.
-
Manage your stress level through
relaxation therapy.
-
Get your rest and a good night sleep.
-
Keep a distance of at least three feet
between yourself and others whenever possible.
-
If things continue to get worst it is
recommended to wear a mask and gloves.
And finally no, you can’t get the swine flu
from eating pork. The reason is the influenza viruses are not
transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating
pork or pork products. Eating properly handled cooked pork and/or a
pork product is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of
160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and
viruses.

Wash Your Hands! Avoid the Flu!
Look for the WASC "Sneeze" Commercial
playing on the LSN! |
