Vaccinations for H1N1 influenza for Madison County middle and high school students that were scheduled to begin today have been postponed until more vaccine doses arrive, according to a news release from the school district. Vaccinnations by the Madison County Health Department had been scheduled for Madison Middle today, with Foley, Clark-Moores and Caudill middle schools slated for Thursday. Madison Central and Madison Southern high schools were scheduled for Friday.
The first round of vaccinations were given Monday at four Madison County elementary schools. Kit Carson, Glenn Marshall, Shannon Johnson and Kingston elementaries received the vaccinations from the Madison County Health Department. Almost 40 percent of the student population at those four schools received the vaccinations, according to Becky Carr, Madison County Schools Nurse Coordinator.
Local girls and women are dancing for a good cause. On Thursday, the Foley Middle School Dance Team is hosting the Breast Cancer Awareness Showcase from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium. The cost is $3, with all proceeds going to Hospice Care Plus Inc. in Berea. The event was organized by Sabrina Warren, dance/step coach at Foley Middle School.
Charles Wheelan, author of “Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science,” will speak at Berea college Oct. 29 on the College’s Convocation program. The program is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Phelps Stokes Chapel. Co-sponsored by the Department of Economics and Business at Berea, the program is free and open to the public.
Not long ago, Madison Middle School had developed a reputation for low test scores and behavior problems. The school’s reputation had sunk so low that when the county school district re-aligned middle school zones in February, concerned parents went before the school board to voice displeasure about being moved into Madison Middle’s zone. At one meeting, a mother said, “We’re parents who are afraid of Madison Middle School.” She asked, “What are you going to do to make Madison Middle better, fast?”
When school lets out, there is no place for many students to go but to an empty home. Mayfield Elementary School has found a way to help give students in need a free, safe after-school environment for three days a week. Using a grant from the Department of Education, Mayfield is working with the 21st Century Community Learning Centers to provide students an afterschool program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
At all three schools — Berea Community Elementary School, Berea Community Middle School and Berea Community High School — students were sent home Monday and classes were canceled for the remainder of the week. “It was determined that after 12 percent of our population were absent on Friday and 19 percent of our student population absent (Monday) we should close for the remainder of the week,” said Donna Lovell, director of pupil personnel for Berea Community School.
