COVID-19 Guidance From: Dr. Michael Fine Children with just a runny nose, a dry cough or a fever lower than 100.5 are usually fine recovering at home and rarely need medical attention Children with shortness of breath or unrelenting cough, a temperature over 100.4 for more than 2 days or who aren’t drinking or who haven’t passed urine in 24 hours should call their doctor or clinic or come to Express care at the Central Falls Neighborhood Health Station, another express care, urgent care, or emergency room. Hospital emergency rooms and Rescue should be used only for Real emergencies. Help our heros by making good choices. Every should have a thermometer and, if possible, an oxygen saturometer at home and know how to use them. These simple devices, which cost less than $10, will help your doctor help your child if you have to call your doctor at night. Michael Fine MD www.michaelfinemd.com

Just a snap shot of the creative, collaborative, and verbal and non verbal communication skills on display in PE this week. Students were asked to accept the challenge of bringing their peers across the gym. Each group collaborated effectively to choose a method of travel for each peer using weighted bars then chose a member to travel across the "ladder". The significance of the ladder tells the story of how taking your time to complete assignments is an effective way to achieve success. When groups rushed to be the first to finish, it never worked out for them. When they took their time, worked together and played close attention to details the outcome was a success. #PEsaveslives Sincerely, The PE Guys, Lou, Lap, Fic and Nick

Dear Ms. Vollucci and Artists, I’m so pleased to let you know that the portraits you created were delivered to the children in Pakistan, and they absolutely loved them! As you will see in the following video, the children were so excited to receive your artwork and very touched by your efforts. They fully understood that creating the portraits was a way to show them how much you care about their well-being and their future. Your students may be interested to know that they were joined in this effort by over three thousand young artists. Therefore, rather than focusing on any portraits individually, the purpose of this video is to share the collective joy and excitement of all the children together. We hope you enjoy it! https://vimeo.com/memoryproject/pakistan2020 Thank you for helping us build international friendship through the arts. It is our true privilege to do this work with you, and we very much hope to have that privilege again. Gratefully, Ryan Egan Portrait Program Coordinator The Memory Project

Members of the "How to Change the World " program made signs to designate 'safe' areas in the school to designate areas where LGBTQ+ students can feel safe and know that there are people there who are understanding, supportive, and trustworthy. These are rooms where they can ask for help, advice, or just to talk to someone who is supportive. The students then talked to teachers who then hung them up in their rooms.
