VHS Cross Country Runners Make a Great Showing at the District Meet

10/20/2015

 
​The Boys Varsity team advanced to the Regional Cross Country Meet which will be held Monday October 26th in Lubbock, TX. They will run at 9:30 am. 
We also had some individual medalists who had to place in the top ten to receive medals.
The team includes:
Ryan Vela (medalist)
Lucky Salazar (medalist)
Ricardo Gomez (medalist)
Julian Espinoza
Justin Keith 
Alex Schaefer
Jose Brito

The Varsity Girls fell a little short of advancing to the next level. But they sure put up a good fight! 

Kacey Virgil
Ruby Alvarado 
Jeneva Garcia
Lizzet Ortega
Alexandra Anaya
Isabel Guillen

JV Boys 
Eliasim Brito (medalist)
Jose Alba
Aaron Valdez
Ruben Alvarado

When you see these athletes please feel free to "pat them on the back". Five Am workouts are hard, but even harder when combined with other sports and homework. These guys have proven their dedication! 

Thanks for all your support!

Be Aware: Common School Sickness Facts

10/16/2015

 
We are quickly entering the part of the year where student absences due to illness increase.  It is important that students attend school so they can learn, but it is most important that our students are healthy; healthy learners are effective learners.  Below are some common sicknesses that impact many students across the Texas annually.  If you feel that your student might have any of them, please seek medical attention.

Bacterial Meningitis

This type of meningitis is caused from bacteria such as Neisseria meningitdis and Streptococcus, and can cause life-threatening infections that need immediate medical attention. 
Symptoms:
  • Nausea,
  • Vomiting,
  • Increased sensitivity to light (photophobia), and
  • Altered mental status (confusion).
Prevention:​
The most effective way to protect you and your child against certain types of bacterial meningitis is to complete the recommended vaccine schedule. There are vaccines for three types of bacteria that can cause meningitis, Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus), Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), and​ Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).

Influenza

Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death.
Symptoms:
  • Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue (tiredness)
Prevention:
CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses.  Try to avoid close contact with sick people.  Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.  Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.  Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.

Stomach Flu

Norovirus, commonly known as Stomach Flu, is a very contagious virus. You can get norovirus from an infected person, contaminated food or water, or by touching contaminated surfaces. The virus causes your stomach or intestines or both to get inflamed (acute gastroenteritis). This leads you to have stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea and to throw up.
Symptoms:
  • diarrhea
  • throwing up
  • nausea
  • stomach pain
Prevention:
Practice proper hand hygiene.  Wash fruits and vegetables and cook seafood thoroughly.  When you are sick, do not prepare food or care for others who are sick.  Clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces.  Wash laundry thoroughly.

Viral Meningitis

This type of meningitis is caused by viruses such as enteroviruses, arboviruses, and herpes simplex viruses.  It is serious, but less severe than bacterial meningitis, and people with normal immune systems usually get better on their own. 
Symptoms:
  • Fever
  • Irritability
  • Poor eating
  • Lethargy (a lack of energy)
Prevention:
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after changing diapers, using the toilet, or coughing or blowing your nose.  Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.  Avoid close contact such as kissing, hugging, or sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.  Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your upper shirt sleeve, not your hands.  Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.  Stay home when you are sick.

Strep Throat

Strep throat is a common type of sore throat in children, but it's not very common in adults.  Viruses, bacteria, allergens, environmental irritants (such as cigarette smoke), chronic postnasal drip and fungi can all cause a sore throat. While many sore throats will get better without treatment, some throat infections—including strep throat—may need antibiotic treatment.
Symptoms:
  • Sore throat, usually starts quickly and can cause severe pain when swallowing
  • A fever (101°F or above)
  • Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus
  • Tiny red spots (petechiae) on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth  (the soft or hard palate)
  • Headache, nausea, or vomiting
  • Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
  • Body aches or rash
Prevention:
The best way to keep from getting strep throat is to wash your hands often and avoid sharing eating utensils, like forks or cups. It is especially important for anyone with a sore throat to wash their hands often and cover their mouth when coughing and sneezing. There is no vaccine to prevent strep throat.
