The Good News & Bad News abou

LiceThe Good News is that lice

do not spread disease.

They rarely fall from the head, so the

do not live in carpets, clothes, hats or

sheets. The Bad News is that they are

nuisance to be dealt with. If concern

about bedding & stuffed toys, 20

minutes in the clothes dryer on high

heat should work. Using a hair dryer

should be sufficient to dehydrate and

kill any live nits. There are new spray

products on the market that claim to

repel lice to prevent infestation. The

is no single treatment that kills 100%

head lice or eggs. Use a method that

will not risk the health of your child.

Whichever treatment you choose, it

can take time and persistence to get

of head lice. Most drug stores (Targe

Walgreen’s, etc) carry a variety of 

products to help with this.

The PTA now accepts credit cards at

our events! We welcome Cash, Check

or Major Credit Cards at our upcoming

Pancake Breakfast, as well as for PTA

Memberships, Tiles, Donations, Spirit

Wear, Yearbooks, etc.

Pastries

Principal

about Sunset Ridge.
