Drive Safely - We want to see you tomorrow

Motorcycle hits car at 155 MPH 

According to a report by the Swedish Police a driver was stopped at a stop sign talking on her cell
 phone. She then pulled into the path of a Honda motorcyclist who was running at over 150 MPH. 
The violent impact of the collision jammed the bike into the car with such force that it rolled the 
car over and moved it several feet from the point of impact. The Police recovered the bodies of 
the two people in the car as well as that of the motorcycle driver. It is believed that all three people 
died instantly. While it cannot be determined if the exact details are accurate, it does prove that 
a moment spent not driving safely can have catastrophic consequences.  Be alert and always 
drive safely. Obey the law. Don't end up like these people did. We want to see you tomorrow

News from the Clinic

Medications - Parents if you have any medications in the clinic for your student,
please pick it up prior your students last day of school. All medications
not picked up by noon on June 9th will be disposed of.

Immunizations - Over the summer, check with your students doctor or
Health Department to see if your student is in need of any immunizations
to keep them up to date. If any immunizations are given over the summer,
have it documented on a BLUE CARD and return it to school at the
beginning of the school year with your student. I suggest that you
keep a copy for your own records.
