There has been a confirmed case of the Chicken Pox in the elementary school. A letter with more information has been sent home with every student. There are guidelines from the Department of Health and Senior Services that must be followed for certain non-immunized (exempt) students. These individuals have been contacted. You can contact the School Health Office at 417-376-2215 ext 244, your doctor, or the Polk County Health Department with further questions about Varicella Virus (Chicken Pox).
One of the many amazing things about MCE is the giving and servant heart of our teachers and students. Yesterday evening, around 30 students and 10 adults from MCE went to Hands of Hope, which is a service project of Convoy of Hope. Students represented from MCE all came together from these organizations: Student Council, FCCLA, FFA, FBLA, FCA and NHS. Including our numbers, there were a total of 331 volunteers. Here's what our students helped to accomplish:
· 1,723 pairs of Toms Shoes boxed for kids in rural communities all over the US
· 737 baby care kits created for disaster survivors
· 1,000 bags of groceries bagged for the Hope Connection right here in Springfield, MO & 1,200 bags of groceries for a Rural Compassion event in Lake Village, Arkansas
·4,030 lbs of cereal bagged for families in the US
·1,810 lbs of pasta bagged for families all over the world (8,320 meals total!)
· & 5,000 bags labeled for food bagging projects in future weeks (so we can keep bagging those meals!)
What these volunteers did last night, helps Convoy of Hope better serve hundreds of thousands of individuals all over the world through our Children's Feeding, Women's Empowerment, Agriculture, Community Events, Rural Compassion & Disaster Services Initiatives.
Thank you to our teachers for organizing and taking them and for our parents who helped to volunteer with them. #PantherNation
