Virginia Book and Scavenger HuntOur 4th grade classes learned about the writing and publishing process from local author Tara Fisher when she shared her book, Virginia is for Adventurers, with students. The story follows a group of friends around Virginia as they compete in an outdoor scavenger hunt that is designed to complement the 4th grade social studies curriculum. This summer, small towns, state parks, and historic sites will be participating in a state-wide event inspired by the book. Each of the 15 locations participating will offer an adventure and prizes. All participants are eligible for the grand prize, which is a $2,500 donation to the winner’s elementary school and $250 cash. For more details, go to www.virginiaisforadventurers.com.
Medication Pick-Up From Sangster Health RoomThe school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school, which is an early release. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
If your student has Epinephrine in the health room, consider donating it to someone in need rather than picking it up or having it discarded. If you would like to donate your student's Epinephrine, complete and sign the bottom of this DONATION FORM and return the form to Sangster office or email to [email protected].
Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school.
