July Newsletter

2015 - 2016
Independence Day

One of the most celebrated events in the United States, the Fourth marks the day that the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The written statement declared that the 13 North American colonies intended to separate from Britain. Penned by a committee headed by Thomas Jefferson, it signaled a break in colonial ties with Britain. Although representatives did not sign the declaration until August 1776, the Fourth of July stands as the official day to celebrate our nation's independence.
Want to show your U.S. pride this Fourth of July? It's easy! First, put on your favorite red, white, and blue clothes. Next, hang the US flag outside your apartment or house, or line the driveway with mini flags. Then, find a holiday parade or festival in your neighborhood. And don't forget to map out a good spot in the park (or even in front of the TV) to watch those dazzling fireworks! Get more history behind this star-spangled celebration!

Thank You
CLC thanks Chief Pharmacist with the UH Health Center, Veronica Simmons, R.Ph, Pharm D, and UH Fire Marshal, Chris McDonald, for facilitating our staff emergency preparedness training in June. Members of the UH Health Center staff, including CLC parent Jeanette Garcia, reviewed the 5 Rights of Medication Administration with teachers and student leaders. Mr. McDonald provided all staff with great fire safety tips and then let us use a fire extinguisher to put out a "real" fire!
