WHAT’S FOR LUNCH?
FALL FESTIVAL
Due to recent flooding to our area from Hurricane Harvey, we want to give our families, community, and businesses time to heal and refurbish! Therefore, we are canceling the Fall Festival (School Carnival) scheduled for October 21. A Spring Carnival is in the planning phase as we know our students look forward to this special event! More details to come later!

DISMISSAL TIME
We appreciate your patience at dismissal time as we are hosting displaced employees from the ISC building which was flooded during Hurricane Harvey.
To expedite dismissal time, please consider carpooling (three or more students) for pickup in the carpool lane by the flagpole, meeting your child on Pine Cup & Atascocita Pines Drive as a walker, or picking up your child in the car rider line off West Lake Houston. If you choose to carpool, please pick up a carpool plack for each vehicle from the front office. Parking is limited.
For the safety of our students, students are not permitted to cross into the faculty parking lot for pick up without adult supervision.
Thank you for your patience as we support our HumbleISD community during this recovery time. #HumbleisdStrong

PANThER PERK STORE It’s time for our little Panthers to start spending their hard earned Panther Perks. Panther Perks are tickets that students earn and can spend for rewards at our Panther Perk Store every other week. For our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students, the Panther Perk cart visits their classroom. Our students in 3rd, 4th and 5th graders have the opportunity to visit our store in the front foyer between 7:30am – 8am. Our first Panther Perk store last week was a huge success! As a reminder, all Panther Perks must have the student’s name prior to making any purchases.

Parents! One of this year’s main fundraisers is the Boosterthon Fun Run! It’s a 9-day program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on 1/8/2018. Then families will have time to get pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on 1/18/18. With our big goal to raise funds for playground canopy and technology, the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon will power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easy, and fun. Students will experience an amazing character theme, BACKYARD BOX OFFICE! It’s a movie theme all about making a difference by getting into character. Our students will learn from five REAL kid difference-makers. From inventors, to world-class speakers, to business owners, to world-record holders, these five kids will inspire our students to practice the five “Character Acts” and make a difference in our community. Donations will go toward playground canopy and technology and to the entire 9-day experience. So please help our school by reaching out to sponsors. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on your student at the Fun Run! Thank you for your support!

Colds vs. Allergies The similarities between these often lead to confusion. One can easily mistake an allergy for a cold or vice versa. Check the table below to help determine if your child has an allergy or a cold:
Allergies Colds
Symptoms Runny or stuffed nose, sneezing, watery and itchy eyes.
Can include fever, aches and pains, sore and scratchy throat along with allergy symptoms.
Warning Time
Symptoms begin almost immediately after exposure to allergen.
Usually takes a few days after exposure to the virus
Duration Symptoms last as long as you are exposed to the allergen and beyond.
Symptoms should clear up within several days to a week.
Colds: Cause: A virus. Spread by breathing in germs or coming in direct contact with an infected person. Prevention: Frequently wash hands, use a disinfectant on any contaminated surfaces and cover your nose and mouth when sneezing and coughing. Treatment: Rest, drink lots of fluids and eat nutritiously. Over-the-counter medication will help to reduce the symptoms but they will not stop the cold process – only your immune system can do that over time. Allergies: Cause: A reaction to an exposure to an allergen. Prevention: Reduce exposure to known allergens. Treatment: Prescription or over-the-counter medications can reduce allergy symptoms. If you are unsure of what you are allergic to or the best treatment for your allergies please talk to a doctor. Allergies are not contagious. -Modified from guidelines of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, August 2014
