To All-
Most of you know me so well and know that I would do anything in my power for one of my students. Well this morning I believe my commitment to my students showed in a big way. We have started a new program in my school which rewards students for positive behavior. When we catch a student following the rules they earn a PAWS tickets. They get a chance each week to buy things with their tickets. Yesterday one of my students who had been saving her tickets (150) was able to buy a coupon which entitled her to style a teacher’s hair of her choice. You will never guess who she picked….Yep it was me. Enjoy the pictures! The worst part is we have a field trip to the Community Theater to see a play today! Another student in my class chose her first grade teacher and styled her hair today too.
Have a good laugh on me!

Vaccination Line
People waiting for an H1N1 influenza vaccine Tuesday afternoon at the Adams County Health Department form a line extending from the Broadway entrance, south to Sixth Street, and around the corner and across the entire block of Vermont. Julie Shepard, director of health protection, said between 1,500 and 1,600 doses of the injectable vaccine were delivered from 3 to 8:30 p.m., close to 300 vaccines an hour. Shepard isn’t sure when the next shipment of H1N1 vaccine will arrive but emphasizes that the shots are not being given on a walk-in basis. A clinic will be scheduled as soon as a new shipment is received. For updates, including who’s eligible for the vaccines, call the Adams County flu hotline at (217) 277-5900. Starting today, the hotline will go from an automated service to being manned by registered nurses 24 hours a day. In addition to providing information about H1N1 vaccination clinics, the hotline will serve as a place for people to seek advice about when it’s necessary to seek medical treatment if showing signs of flu.
