You can do your shopping and support CCLS-U? Please consider stopping by the Kirkwood campus to see our CCLS-U Jewelry display. You can stop by during school hours and the office staff will be happy to assist you. We have necklaces, earrings, bracelets, eye glasses holders, lanyards, wine charm sets and ornaments ready for purchase; and 100% of all the donations go to support CCLS-U.
Please remember that school policy says children are to be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. This includes temperatures, diarrhea, and vomiting. This is to protect your child from catching something else because their immune system is compromised from their illness if they are sick and it is easy for them to catch something else and to protect the other children in the
class. Thank you, Nurse Filley
