Tips offered
School is only two weeks a way,
to be exact it is only ten working
days before the buses began mak
ing their rounds. Now is the time
to begin getting a bedtime rou
tine started. School aged children
need nine to ten hours of sleep
per night. It is suggested that half
an hour before bedtime be put
aside to have "quiet" time. This
can be used reading, coloring or
listening to quiet music before the
lights go out Elementary students
may have an easier time getting this
amount than older students
whose body clocks are pro
grammed to stay up later and
sleep in.
It is said that breakfast is the
most important meal of the day.
If one does not eat at home, there
are breakfast programs in the
schools. Still there are hungry stu
dents because excuses are made
such as "not enough time," "par
ents aren't available to help them
get breakfast," "not hungry in the
morning," or a "dislike of break
fast food." A suggestion is for the
parent to help the student pack a
mini-breakfast the night before so
they can eat on the bus or during
a morning recess. Or try to get the
child up five to ten minutes ear
lier for a bowl of cereal. Any kind
of food is beneficial to start the
school day.
The next big item is "shots."
Before the student starts school,
make sure they have their oral
polio, DTP (diphtheria, tetanus
and pertusis), hepatitis B series
and MMR (measles, mumps and
rubella vaccines are current and
the school has a copy of it on
record. If a student reaches jun
ior high and has not yet had
chicken pox, it is recommended
they receive a chicken pox vac
cine. There were reports of recent
outbreaks of meningitis on col
lege campuses. Meningitis can be
a fast and deadly disease because
symptoms are often mistaken for
the flu. College students, particu
larly freshman who are exposed
to shared environments or group
living situations are at a higher risk
than most. It is strongly recom
mended to get a meningitis vac
cine. Adolescents need a I Iepatitis
B vaccine because most kids over
the age of ten were not inoculated
against this life threatening dis
ease. I Iepatitis B is a liver disease
Saphronia Katchia
the Spilyay she became a re
porterphotographer Intern and
worked half time while attending
her senior year. After working
with Spilyay for seven years she
decided to try something differ
ent, which led her to apply for the
Office Administrator with the Fi
nance Department where she has
been since January 1996. In the
Finance Department Katchia
found herself wearing many hats,
ones that kept her busy such as
Executive Secretary for the Chief
Finance Officer, Purchasing

contacted through sexual contact,
blood or other potentially infec
tious fluids. As children enter ado
lescence and move on to high
school it is highly recommended
they receive the three part Hepa
titis B series of shots.
Another subject is "Head
Lice" outbreaks. Head lice are a
common occurrence in schools.
Many parents don't realize that a
simple head check could prevent
their child from infecting the
whole class. Parents should check
their childs head for knits or eggs.
If head lice are found, seek treat
ment and notify your child's
teacher or school.
