I attended a Webinar put on by the Iowa Department of Public Health today regarding a measles case diagnosed in Iowa this week. The person who tested positive for Measles is not vaccinated and recently traveled outside of the US. Health officials are recommending if you are not vaccinated against Measles or are unsure to get vaccinated ASAP. Signs and symptoms of Measles generally appear 7 to 14 days after a person is infected, and begin with high fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes and Koplik spots (spots that appear in the mouth before the skin rash appears). Measles can be fatal, so if you are immunocompromised or are not vaccinated due to religious exemption, or unsure if you are adequately vaccinated, you should discuss with your healthcare provider ways to protect yourself from contracting the virus or spreading to those who are compromised. You may also contact Harrison County Public Health for more information on the Measles Virus, and prevention at 712-644-2220. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

New football uniform fundraiser. The football boys are selling Buffalo Wild Wing discount cards for $20 each. They will be sold through May 3rd.
Amanda Lawrenson and Staci Anderson from Midstates Bank visited the 6th grade and presented information for 'Teach Children to Save Day'. They discussed different jobs at a bank, skills that a bank employee needs to have, and ways that the students save or can save money. They had group activities such as decision making situations, a survey, and a Kahoot game. Five names were drawn for a Midstates t-shirt. We want to thank them for coming to West Harrison!
