Dear Parents and Guardians,
Mrs. Logsdon, United Intermediate School Social Worker, will be discussing basic hygiene with students the week of August 25th with all her classes. She will talk about the importance of regular showering, brushing teeth, brushing hair, wearing clean clothes and using deodorant. Along with the discussion, a generous donation of deodorant has been given to United Intermediate School for each student to have in their lockers. Mrs. Logsdon will discuss how it is not embarrassing to use deodorant in the hallways; however, some students may be more comfortable putting it on in the restroom. If you do not want your child to participate in this conversation, please contact the office to opt out of the lesson.
Thank you,
Mrs. Cole
