who helped Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz." The Scarecrow, Tin Man and
Cowardly Lion all needed something that was missing from their lives - a brain,
a heart, the nerve. The thing they all had in common was character. As the story
progresses, you see how their character helps them overcome what is missing in
their lives. By refusing to abandon their friend in the face of the Wicked Witch
of the West, their character helps them ultimately get what they need. - Attention Work Coop Students- We will be meeting Monday, February 13th at lunch in Mrs. Rodger's room. - GIANT'S RIDGE TRIP - The bus loads starting at 4:30 on Friday and leaves at 5:00.

Students have more sore throats/coughs. Just to review information for cough drops and our medication procedure regarding administration at school. Cough drops: most cough drops do have an herbal/supplement component to them like Menthol (Cough suppressant/oral anesthetic) so they fall under the over the counter guidelines for medication. They need to be brought in the original purchased container/package and we need the medication authorization form filled out with parent signature. Cough drops need to be kept in the health office and not the classroom. They can be considered a choking hazard. - Do you have a need for dental care and live in Goodhue County?
