Box Tops Contest Reminder: The contest ends Wednesday December 6th at the
end of the day. All box tops should be labeled with the Wednesday Falcon
time teacher and put into the box located in the office. The winner of the
popcorn party will be held before Christmas break. FBLA will meet in Ms.
Probst’s room (204) on Thursday at 3:15. Middle School students are
starting puberty and hormones are kicking in. At this time, hygiene needs
can change drastically. Please do not assume that your child understands
these changes and how to handle it.
Handwashing- Clean hands and fingernails are one of the best ways to
protect yourself and family from getting sick. Scrub for 20 seconds using
soap and water.
Showering/Bathing- Children need daily bathing/showering. They need to use
a mild soap and concentrate on their face, hands, feet, underarms, groin
and bottom. Faces should be washed twice daily.
Hair Washing- The frequency of hair washing depends on your child’s type of
hair and activity level. Children with oily hair may need to wash their
hair more frequently.
Underarm care- At this age, sweat glands become more active and may cause
an odor and more sweat. It is a good time to start thinking about using a
deodorant/antiperspirant.
Oral Hygiene- Brush teeth at least twice daily (and floss, too). This will
prevent tooth decay and bad breath.
Changing Clothes- Have your child wear a new set of clothing daily
(especially socks and underwear). This is an important part of hygiene.
Always remember your child’s own doctor is a great resource and you can
address any further questions.

Secondhand smoke increases your risk for asthma and pneumonia. It also
turns everyday colds into Bronchitis. This does not even take into account
the long term effects of smoking that can lead to cancer and emphysema.
Don’t allow anyone to smoke around yourself, your children, your home, or
your car. For more information on quitting smoking call the Free and Clear
Quit for Life Program at 1-800-462-5327 <(800)%20462-5327>.*Don’t wait for
the New Year, make it a resolution now to be smokefree!*
