Health Tips

Frost Bite Prevention tips from your nurses!

·       
Limit time you're
outdoors in cold, wet or windy weather. Pay
attention to weather forecasts and wind chill readings. In very cold, windy
weather, exposed skin can develop frostbite in a matter of minutes.

·       
Dress in several
layers of loose, warm clothing. Air trapped
between the layers of clothing acts as insulation against the cold. Wear
windproof and waterproof outer garments to protect against wind, snow and rain.
Choose undergarments that wick moisture away from your skin. Change out of wet
clothing — particularly gloves, hats and socks — as soon as possible.

·       
Wear a hat or headband
that fully covers your ears. Heavy woolen or
windproof materials make the best headwear for cold protection.

·       
Wear mittens rather
than gloves. Mittens provide better protection. Or
try a thin pair of glove liners made of a wicking material (such as
polypropylene) under a pair of heavier gloves or mittens.

·       
Wear socks and sock
liners that fit well, wick moisture and provide insulation.You might also try hand and foot warmers. Be sure the foot
warmers don't make your boots too tight, restricting blood flow.

·       
Watch for signs of
frostbite. Early signs of frostbite include red or
pale skin, prickling, and numbness. Seek warm shelter if you notice signs of
frostbite.

·       
Plan to protect
yourself. When traveling in cold weather, carry
emergency supplies and warm clothing in case you become stranded. If you'll be
in remote territory, tell others your route and expected return date.

·       
Eat well-balanced
meals and stay hydrated. Doing this even
before you go out in the cold will help you stay warm.

·       
Keep moving. Exercise can get the blood flowing and help you stay warm.

Jump Rope for Heart

Your child has
recently brought home a Jump Rope for Heart donation envelope. Each year our
Elementary School raises funds for the American Heart Association.  The
students will jump rope as part of their Phy-Ed class. Any donations are
due on February 16th and checks can be written out to the American Heart
Association.  If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Mr.
Johnson directly.
