Congratulations Zakiya Atkinson, NEA Learning & Leadership Grant
recipient
Our
very own Zakiya Atkinson, Dance Instructor at Memorial High
School, is the recipient of a Learning & Leadership Grant from
The NEA Foundation. She will be traveling to South Africa in
July to develop a dance/ theatre curriculum unit for the
performing arts students on Genocide, Holocaust, and Human
Rights Studies. She'll be doing research and working with a
group of high school students in the Western Cape who have been
affected by the remnants of apartheid and other human rights
disparities. Her project will be conducted in the form of a
case study and will serve as a pilot for the Performing Arts
Academy students at Memorial High School. All of the knowledge
gained from this endeavor will be incorporated into the current
curriculum in September and the final project for this unit will
be a interdisciplinary performance work on the content that was
explored.
If you are interested in learning more about this project and
other grant recipients, please visit the NEA website at

Flu Epidemic Prevention Recommendations
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Due to an increase in the number of cases of Strep and Flu this
year, we would like to remind you of the following guidelines:
-
Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing
-
Frequently wash your hands and promote hand washing in the
family. Many students do not wash their hands as often as
they should and reinforcement of this at home is helpful.
Keep your child home if any one of the following occurs:
-
Vomiting within the last 24 hours.
-
Diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
-
Temperature of 100 or higher within the last 24 hours
without taking any fever medication.
-
Symptoms of acute illness, such as persistent cough, sore
throat or runny nose with body aches.
-
Abdominal pain or cramping, headache also with body aches.
-
Strep is suspected and you are awaiting the results of a
throat culture (Students who test positive for strep, may
return to school 24 hours after antibiotic treatment has
begun, as long as they meet the above criteria).
-
A sibling or parent has the flu and they do not feel right
but cannot explain what is wrong.
Your child should look and behave like him or herself for 24-48
hours before returning to school.
REMEMBER: Hand washing is the most effective means of preventing
the spread of communicable diseases!!!!
Thank you,
