Board is looking for motivated teens to join their Board. This is a great opportunity to advocate
for and participate in activities related to youth health and safety in Lee's Summit. If you're

Kindness Week February 10-16: Take Time to Be Kind is one week devoted to performing
random and purposeful acts of kindness throughout the Lee's Summit community. Community
members, students and businesses are encouraged to participate - perhaps performing a good
deed for a friend, neighbor or stranger - without the expectation of anything in return. It doesn't
take much to make someone's day with a few kind words or actions. On Wednesday, February
12th, wear yellow to support acts of kindness and use the hashtag #LSKindness to post acts of
kindness you have witnessed during the week. Take Time to be Kind is made possible by the city
of Lee’s Summit’s Human Relations Commission.
STEM Club for Girls: Any girl interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math,
please plan on joining us for our next STEM club meeting. The topic this month will be Physics
and we have a couple of different engineering activities for you to participate in. The meeting
will be February 11 from 2:30 - 3:45 in Ms. Evert's room.

Message from the Health Room: This has been an unusually active flu/illness season. When
deciding to send your student to school it is important to follow the minimum district illness
guidelines:
o Students should be fever free (<100.4) for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing
medication before returning to school.
o Students should remain at home until 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting
o Students should be free of continuous coughing.
o Students should remain at home 24 hours after taking the first dose of an antibiotic for a
contagious infection/illness.
A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness
to other children and staff. It is particularly important to practice good hygiene such as frequent
hand washing and not eating or drinking after each other during the cold and flu season.
