Please read this important message from the Hilton School Nurses:
Dear Families,
We want to make you aware of a health condition we have seen more of than usual. Recently, there has been an increase in cases of a type of walking pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria, particularly among young children. The symptoms often begin with a headache, sore throat, low fever, and chills, and can lead to a persistent dry cough that gradually worsens over two to three weeks. It's important to note that while many children may recover without treatment, some may need a different antibiotic regimen than is generally prescribed, especially if they have pre-existing conditions like asthma. The bacteria spread easily in crowded settings, making it crucial for us to remain vigilant in monitoring our children's health. If your child has had a cough and/or fever lasting more than a week, please consult with your healthcare provider. For more information you can see this CDC Bulletin. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping keep our school community healthy.
Sincerely,
Hilton School Nurses

On October 16, Merton Williams Middle School hosted best-selling middle grade author Janae Marks as part of the Hilton Community Reads initiative started this year. In total, over 100 students attended the event, many getting the chance to talk with Janae Marks while getting their copies of From the Desk of Zoe Washington signed by the author. Janae Marks also held an event at the Parma Public Library in the evening for community members.
Over 100 free copies of the book were distributed to students and community members, made possible through a We Need Diverse Books "Educators Making a Difference" grant received by ELA teacher Michael Billotti. Janae's visit was funded by a classroom grant through the Hilton Alumni Association. Michael Billotti said, "I'm so grateful to the Hilton Alumni Association for their generosity in helping us to bring a popular, contemporary author to our community! The kids were buzzing about it all day!"
