The National Honors Society will be hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, March 28 in the high school (Hutter) gym. High school students ages sixteen and older are able to participate. Sixteen year olds are required to have a permission slip signed by a parent to participate but seventeen and eighteen year olds are not.

We recommend that students check the height and weight requirements.  The can be found by visiting Donating 101.

For the first time, NHS is pleased to announce, that the blood drive will also be open to the public.  If you are interested in donating blood, please visit American Red Cross, type in the code “St Marys FDL” then select “St. Mary’s Spring Academy”. Chose the time you would like to donate.  If this is the first time you have donated with the American Red Cross, click the “create an account” option, and follow the prompts on the website.

We hope to see you on Wednesday March 28.

Thank you for your support!

System Volunteerism

The Fond du Lac community and many surrounding school districts have seen in increase in illnesses, including influenza. We are doing everything we can at SMSA to keep the illnesses out of the building, but need your help. If your child is sick, please keep them at home. Here are some reasons you should keep your child at home:

• Temperature of 100 or above. When your child has had a fever, his or her temperature should be below 100 for at least 24 hours without the use of Tylenol or ibuprofen.
• Coughing frequently or has a productive cough (is coughing up phlegm).
• Had diarrhea or vomiting in the past 24 hours.
• Is complaining that his/her ears or throat hurts.
• Is very tired because of being up during the night with any of the above symptoms.
• Has seen a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic. Generally a child should be on an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school; your doctor will give you specific instructions.
• Is just “not feeling good” or is acting sluggish.

When you do keep your child at home please call the school attendance line (920-322-8036) early in the day to let us know the reason for illness.  If your child has been diagnosed with a communicable disease such as influenza, strep throat or pink eye please tell the office.  If your child develops signs of illness at school, you will be contacted to come and take him or her home.

Thank you for helping keep our school healthy! Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions at khellmer@smsacademy.org or 920-322-3206.
