Pennies are positive points for your homeroom and silver money and bills are negative points. You may put silver money in any homeroom’s bucket. The homeroom in each grade with the highest number of points will win a pizza or donuts and juice party. The money raised will go to the YSC to help provide gifts for families this holiday season!

When to keep your child home from school…
It’s not an exact science, but the guidelines below will help:
Take your child’s temperature. Though a child may not have a
fever and still be sick, a temperature of 100 or over is a sure
sign to keep your child home.
Giving a fever reducer and sending him to school will almost
guarantee a call home from school when the medicine wears
off, as well as exposing other students to whatever your child
has.
If your child has been vomiting or having diarrhea during the
previous evening or night, please keep him home. Consult his
doctor if symptoms continue more than 48 hours or worsen
instead of improving.
A blistery rash, especially if accompanied by fever and a
history of exposure, may be chicken pox. Keep your child
home until you know for sure. If it is chicken pox, he will need
to stay home until all areas are scabbed, usually 6-7 days.
Keep your child home if he has heavy nasal congestion and/or
frequent cough. He probably feels miserable and will not learn
much, as well as sharing his virus with others.
If your child is diagnosed with a contagious disease, such as
strep, he should be on prescribed antibiotics for 24 hours before
returning to school
The 10 most common cause of
infection...YOUR HANDS. Wash your hands
often to keep away germs and disease Also,
instruct your child to cover their mouth and
nose with a tissue when they cough or sneeze
or cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, NOT YOUR HAND. Put
your tissue into the waste basket.
Spirit wear for Sale! The Indian’s Club is once again selling the following spirit wear items: Beanie Caps - Gray or Pink $10.00 Drawstring sling bag with zipper $10.00 T-Shirts $10.00 Hoodies $25.00

FROM TURKEYFOOT GUIDANCE OFFICE
How to stay calm during the mad scramble of the holidays
The holidays can be fun, but they also can be a source of great stress — and no wonder. The holidays are often depicted as a
magical time when people reconcile and dreams come true.
How Can You Deal With Continuing Family Problems During The Holidays?
Being realistic is the first step. If you have bad feelings about someone, try and avoid him or her and not make an issue of it but
don't pretend that all is well. This will enable you to feel true to yourself and less stressed out.
Do Financial Pressures Stress People Out to the Point of Ruining the Holiday Spirit?
Knowing your spending limit is also a way to relieve holiday stress. People believe that they have to go out and
buy gifts because it's the holidays, even if they can't afford to do so. Not only is it stressful to feel that you have
to buy everyone an expensive gift, but you'll be stressed for the rest of the year trying to pay off your bills. You
can show love and caring by getting something that you know is meaningful and personal for that person that
doesn't have to cost a lot.
How Do Time Pressures Affect People Around the Holidays?
People shouldn't have to put their lives on pause or totally rearrange their schedules either because of the holidays.
Learn to prioritize the invitations you accept and don't feel that you have to go to every holiday gathering.
How Does a Person Deal With the Holidays When He or She Has Just Experienced A Recent Tragedy, Death or Romantic
Break-up?
If you're feeling really out of sorts because of any chronic or current stressors, like a death or recent romantic break-up, you may
want to avoid some of the festivities because they are so out of sync with how you're feeling. Try to tell those around you what
you really need, since they may not know how to help you, and ask for their understanding if you decline an activity.
How Do You Cope With Kids Who Want Everything For The Holidays and Have No Sense of What Things
Cost?
Parents need to tell their children to be realistic. It is OK to say to your child that a certain toy is too expensive.
And even Santa Claus has limited funds and has to choose what to give because he has a very long list. You can
also tell your children that Mom and Dad and Santa Claus will try to choose the most suitable present for the child.
Children have to learn that their wish is not someone's command and to curb their desires for instant gratification.
What Are Some Good Coping Strategies?
Take stock of your expectations and make sure they're realistic. Don't expect more of this time of year than of any other. Take a
break from holiday music and television specials if you find that they're turning you into "Scrooge."
Most people dread the holidays because their inner experience is so different from what is being hyped. You should trust your
own instincts and don't try to be what you're not. Keep up your normal routine and know that this day will pass too.
If, however, you are unable to shake what you think are "holiday blues" your feelings may not be about the holidays, but about
other things in your life. If you need help in sorting out or dealing with this issue, a psychologist is a person with the training to
help you do so.
