National Award
The Latta Early Childhood Center was recently honored by the National Education Association for its efforts in promoting literacy. The school was awarded the "Best Pre-kindergarten to Kindergarten Event or Activity for a Local School."
The school celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday for an entire week by reading and conducting activities related to literacy. Students were able to make Dr. Seuss' hats with their parents and showed off their creations during a school parade down main street Latta. Many thanks to our Literacy Coordinator Ms. Williams.
A NOTE FROM OUR SCHOOL NURSE
Along with the cooler weather comes the flu virus (Influenza). Symptoms consist of fever, headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose and muscle aches. Flu viruses spread from person to person through coughing and sneezing. Always remember to encourage your kids to cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, was hands with soap and water or an alcohol based hand sanitizer, and remind them not to touch their eyes, nose or mouth to help prevent the spreading germs. Please join us in preventing the spread of the flu virus in our schools. Please DO NOT MEDICATE YOUR CHILDREN AND SEND THEM TO SCHOOL. If your child has a fever, please keep them home. Your child must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school. Please contact the school nurse, Kelly Smith, with any questions or concerns (843-752-2711).
