CAPP Looking for New Members 
The Comprehensive Arts Planning Program (CAPP) is a district-wide committee advocating for arts education in our schools and community. It's looking for parents and community members to become involved in monthly meetings or working with specific programs. CAPP meets once a month at the Education Service Center, 4148 Winnetka Ave. North in New Hope, from 6-8 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month. The organization has two specific needs right now: Passport to the Arts assistance at multiple levels, and a meeting scribe (aka secretary) to help document and communicate information. Click here for more information. _____________________________________________________________  Flu SeasonThis has been quite a year for the flu, and it's a good time for some friendly and helpful reminders. It's not too late to get vaccinated, if you haven't already. Frequent hand-washing is a very good habit! Cover your coughs and sneezes inside your elbow (not with your hands). Open restroom doors with a paper towel, if possible. Routinely disinfect commonly used surfaces (such as computer keyboards and telephones), and please stay home when you are sick. Our district hasn't seen absences higher than average this year, which is a great thing! Let's keep it going!
