Dear Parents/Guardians:

This will allow you to go back and re-read information that will be beneficial to you. Please click on the “Memorial’s Newsletter” link below to review the newsletter.
We certainly hope that you are getting acquainted and accustom to Power School/Parent and have been able to access the information. In order to provide maximum security for your student’s information, parent/guardian passwords must be picked up in person in the main office.
Lochmandy Motors has once again offered to donate a car to a student who is striving for perfect attendance. The attendance recording will begin October 26 and the drawing will be held in May of 2010.
We are excited about many of the changes occurring at Memorial including the Charger Learning Communities (CLC). Every staff member is committed to providing your child with the best educational environment possible. In order to provide the best possible environment for your child, we must work together toward a common goal; to graduate from high school. We hope we can count on your support.
Sincerely,
Mark Tobolski

John Halligan, who lost his 13-year-old son Ryan to suicide in 2003, will speak to Elkhart County parents at a community forum on the emotional and physical consequences of bullying.
Halligan’s free, public presentation, “Bullying, Cyber Bullying and Youth Depression,” will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 25 at Concord Mall. Halligan’s presentation will cover the lessons his family learned too late regarding how to deal with bullying, cyber bullying, and teen depression. Parents will be empowered with strategies to take preventative actions with their own children.
Ryan Halligan was a middle school student in Essex Junction, Vermont. While Ryan’s parents knew he was being bullied at school, and had taken steps to deal with it, they learned after his death just how pervasive the bullying had been.

Migraines
Migraines are headaches caused by constriction or dilation of the blood vessels in the brain. Pain generally occurs on one side of the face or head. Sufferers sometimes feel nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Triggers include stress, hormonal fluctuations, certain types of food and weather.
According to research by the New England Center for Headache, as many as half of all migraines are triggered by weather. Many migraine sufferers single out cold, dry weather as the culprit, though almost any weather change can be a problem. Some doctors suggest that patients keep a detailed headache journal, so they can anticipate weather changes and take preventative medication, if necessary.

Sinus headaches
Sinuses are the air cavities in the bones around your nasal passages. When sinuses become clogged or infected, the resulting pressure can cause a headache. Symptoms include pain in the front of the head and around the eyes, yellow or green nasal discharge and perhaps a fever. It's believed that barometric pressure changes may bring on headaches, if the sinus cavities are slow to equalize air pressure. Damp, cold weather can intensify sinus pain.
A recent study suggests that most people who think they are suffering from sinus headaches may actually have migraines -- especially in cases where weather is an obvious trigger. Since symptoms of both types of headaches can vary, visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis.
|
|
Asthma
Asthma is breathing difficulty brought on by constriction of the lung's airway passages. Research has shown a correlation between cool, dry weather and increased asthma-related hospital admissions. Spring and summer can also bring on asthma attacks, because of increased pollen and pollution in the air. Wind is also a factor, since it can transport those irritants over long distances. Visit the weather.com Allergies and Air Quality sections for pollen reports and pollution forecasts for your area.
