COVID show notes for Friday, May 14, 2021 –
Incident commander Karl Hagerman – COVID situation in Petersburg right now, still at low risk, four active cases, all travel related, people who have left Petersburg, returned here and since tested positive. They were symptomatic and were tested at the airport and at Petersburg Medical Center’s respiratory clinic. They have been directed to isolate and he believes the risk to festival-goers is low.
Petersburg still has a face covering mandate in place. He mentioned the Centers for Disease Control’s latest guidance on fully vaccinated people and masking.

Tammy Hoyle and Jessica Bearce are both cosmetology instructors at the school. When they noticed that School Lunch Hero Day was coming up, they decided it would be a perfect way to not only pamper the seven women who make up the cafeteria staff, it would also be a great opportunity for the junior class to get some hands-on experience.

Last week was a week of celebration and appreciation. On Friday, May 7, 2021, it was School Lunch Hero Day.

They are incredible and should be celebrated regularly.
•May 3-7 was Teacher Appreciation Week. The District and Schools found many ways to thank our amazing teachers, paras, and support staff. In celebration of Teacher’s Appreciation week, CPS’s friends at the Chelsea Kiwanis Club, in coordination with the Parent Liaisons & Buildings and Grounds, were very kind in sending Dunkin Donuts Coffee and Donuts to all the teachers at each of the nine schools. THANK YOU to Renee Griffin and her awesome staff at the Chelsea Dunkin Donuts on Everett Ave. for all of their help coordinating this. The Central Office Team in addition sent teachers a sweet surprise to wrap
