AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMMING NEWS

See what we've been doing this
week -- after-school, and meet some of the special people that make our
programs work! |
|

|
Cedar Community Learning Center
 |
|
This week, Mr. Garcia, site director had the opportunity to hang out
with 4th grade and capture on video an experiment they
were working on with Volcanoes. The experiment involved Mentos
candies and Coca Cola bottles. This showed one type of Volcano
eruption called
Plinian.
The students
first watched Mrs. Tracey perform the eruption, then each student
was given a small bottle of Diet Coca Cola and six Mentos. This was
extremely fun to watch.

West After School Center
|
 |
The
students at the West After School Center spend time everyday on
computers. They practice typing their spelling words, which helps them
to get ready for the week's test and also helps increase practice time
and build comfort and familiarity with the keyboard. |

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK |
Our
A.M. childcare students learned about fire safety this week and were
encouraged to hold onto their safety thoughts through out the week.
Their teacher, Miss Amie, sprayed a red streak of hair coloring (with
parental permission) for those that elected to do so to remind them of
fire safety and to engage others discuss and plan safety precautions
they can take at home, work, and school when asked. |
 |
|
|
|
You can help support the
West After
School Center
every time you shop at
your local Krogers. It's simple. Just sign up and every time
you shop and have your
Krogers Plus Card scanned, a portion of the
amount comes to the West After School Center. Encourage your friends to
help us - and support our mission! |
|
TO USE THE KROGER
COMMUNITY REWARDS PROGRAM:
-
Pick up a copy of the registration form
from the WASC. It has the scanbar code on it.
-
Simply take the form to the Customer
Service Desk at your local Kroger store. They will scan it and your
Kroger Plus Card, and with 72 hours a percentage of everything
purchased at Krogers comes to the WASC - between now and April 30,
2010.

|
|
|
Know someone that
recently lost a job? There may be forms of assistance of which they may
be unaware.
The West After School
Center is a provider for the
Ohio Benefit Bank. If you are in need of
assistance related to childcare, food, health coverage or home energy
needs, please call the WASC at 653-5678 and set up an appointment to do
a quick check to see if you might qualify for help. |

Preventing the
Flu: Good Health Habits Can Help Stop Germs
Whether we choose to believe it
or not, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) predicts that our
country and others in the northern hemisphere will experience an
outbreak, possibly a pandemic, of the H1N1 Flu as the weather turns
colder in the coming weeks and months. Preparation is important to
effectively deal with what might transpire. We can minimize the
effects of the flu and its spread by following some good health
habits.
-
Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick,
keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick
too. Stay home when you are sick.
-
Stay home from work,
afterschool, childcare, school, and errands when you are
sick, except to seek medical care. Keep sick children at
home except to see medical care. You will help prevent others
from catching the illness. Cover your mouth and nose.
-
Cover your mouth and
nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Cover your
nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the
tissue in the trash after you use it. Learn to "sneeze in your
sleeve."
-
Wash your hands
often. Washing your hands and the hands of your children
often will help protect you from germs.
-
Avoid touching your
eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a
person touches something that is contaminated with germs and
then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
-
Practice other good
health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically
active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat
nutritious food.
If people are ill, they should stay at home and
limit contact with others, except to seek medical care. Healthy
residents living in impacted areas should take the everyday preventive
actions listed above.People who develop an illness with fever and
respiratory symptoms, such as cough and runny nose, and possibly
other symptoms, such as body aches, nausea, or vomiting or diarrhea,
should contact their health care provider. Their health care
provider will determine whether influenza testing is needed.
|
|
Studies have shown that the influenza
virus can survive on surfaces -- and infect a person -- for up to eight
hours. Individuals infected with seasonal and H1N1 flu shed the virus
and may be able to infect others from 1-7 days afterwards before getting
sick themselves. The period can be longer in some people, especially
children and people with weakened immune systems and in people infected
with the H1N1 virus.

It's happening on October 20. The Ohio
Association of Elementary School Administrators and the Ohio Afterschool
Network are partnering with the Ohio Department of Education to sponsor
Aligning the Learning Day: Collaboration Strategies for Principal and
After-school Program Directors. The training module was developed by
the National Association of Elementary School Principals with support
form the C.S. Mott Foundation. This training is intended to equip team
partners to lead the important conversation and share best practices
related to principal-afterschool collaboration in Ohio. An alignment of
the time children spend learning in school and after-school programs
will lead to improved planning, communication, sharing of resources, and
increased amounts of learning time that create higher levels of
achievement for children in our state.
