Medicine Safety




On Monday, Hailey, Jonathan and Matthew did a wonderful job of representing Mrs. Richardson's first grade class while presenting a medicine safety lesson to our Kindergarteners. They taught the Kindergarteners that 1. Only grown-ups touch medicine, 2. There are medicines made just for kids and medicines made just for grown-ups, 3. Children should never take medicine made just for grown-ups, and 4. Even a medicine made just for kids can be dangerous if too much medicine is taken or if it is taken at the wrong times. Then the 1st graders shared medicine safety posters that they had made for the kindergarten classrooms. 


News from Team USA



Wednesday, 4/4/12 - Team USA students noticed that they were able to pickup unsecured Internet connections from our neighbors.  Dylan and Hunter visited our neighbors on Finn Avenue to track down the wireless connections.  They found two families that needed to protect their connections.  They discussed the issue with both families and explained that the wireless networks should be protected with a password.  They also provided directions about how passwords could be set up.  Team USA would like to remind anyone with a wireless network to make sure they are secure by setting up a password.  The Superheroes would like to commend Dylan and Hunter for taking the time to help our neighbors.
