Message from the Health Office A few friendly reminders: If your child has been diagnosed with a condition needing antibiotic treatment (i.e. strep throat, pink eye, etc.), please be sure they receive the antibiotic for 24 hours prior to returning to school. Also, children need to be symptom free for 24 hours (i.e. from fever, vomiting, diarrhea) prior to returning to school. Please be sure to call the main office or nurse s office if your child is going to be absent/tardy. Research clearly shows that children who eat well, learn better. Breakfast is an important part of a child s education those who eat a good breakfast focus better, feel better, and learn better. Please encourage your child to include a good breakfast in his/her morning routine. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season! Thank you for your cooperation!

In the month of November, the Cromwell High School Student Council has put on many events both within the school, as well as, outside. Some of these events include a can food drive, in which the students at Cromwell High School brought in 138 canned goods between November 3rd and November 10th for Town Hall to make Thanksgiving baskets. Next, at the Parent Teacher Conferences, the Scholarship committee had a Bake sale on both nights (November 7th and 10th) that raised over $200 in total to be put towards the four Student Council scholarships. Another event that was held by the Student Council was the trip to the Capitol, in which State Representative Christie Carpino allowed the Student Council to hold a meeting in one of the committee rooms, making the Cromwell High School Student Council the first Student Council in Connecticut to ever hold a meeting in the Capitol building. After that came the Cromwell High School Talent Show which was on November 28th, in addition to a Senior Dinner and a ECS/WIS PTO Babysitting event which all happened on the same evening. Although there were several events taking place at the same time, all events went extremely well. The Talent Show exceeded its quota by making $1,475 that will be used to buy toys for underprivileged children that will be attending the Annual Holiday party. In addition, this money will help in funding the food and arts and crafts at the event. Lastly, the Student Council offered to babysit for an event that was held on November 21st at the high school. Student Council is here to help our school and community! Upcoming events: PLEASE note that any time a student at Cromwell High School would like to volunteer for an event that the Student Council is involved in, they are able to do so by reaching out to any Student Council member or the Executive Board to receive community service. December 3rd - Cookie Walk December 5th - Blood Drive at Cromwell High School December 5th - Holiday Gift Wrapping Party at Town Hall December 14th - Cromwell Holiday Party at Cromwell HS
