We are pleased to offer an exciting learning opportunity for your child.  All students will participate in our Meridian Study Island Raffle that will begin January 12 and end on March 1.  If your child chooses to work on Study Island over the next month and a half, they will have an opportunity to win raffle coupons and enter them into a drawing to win gift cards from Target and Barnes & Noble. They may also win a lunch date in Mrs. Jenkin’s office with their friends.

Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Facts

Lake County is experiencing an increase in reported cases of whooping cough over the past several months. There also have been more reported cases than normal in our bordering counties of McHenry & Cook.

The IL Department of Public Health reminds us that "early recognition, diagnosis, treatment, reporting, and preventive measures" are essential to control and prevent further transmission. Additionally, "Pertussis poses the greatest risk to infants, who have illness that is more serious and are more likely to have complications and be hospitalized than persons in other age groups."

Please read the Pertussis Fact sheet prepared by the Lake County Health Department for more information, http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Health/want/Pages/CD.aspx
