Notes from theNurselady
Note from the Nurselady: There has been some
concern about the "Fifth Disease." This disease is
common in kids between the ages of 5 to 15 years
of age. Outbreaks tend to happen in the late winter
and early spring months. It may begin with a low
grade temperature, headache, and mild cold like
symptoms. The distinctive red rash usually begins
on the face, then spread to arms, hands, trunks and
legs. Rash on the face appears very red, with the
slapped cheek effect. The rash on the rest of the
body appears to have a red lacy effect. The rash is
the result of an immune system reaction that occurs after the infection has passed, so kids usually
aren't contagious once the rash appears. There is
no vaccine or medication for the disease and no
real way to prevent spreading the virus. Although
anti-vial medicines do exist, none are currently
available to treat fifth disease. Practicing good
hygiene, especially frequent hand washing is always a good way to prevent spreading the disease.
Thanks for the help in keeping our students
healthy... Nurselady

Missouri FFA Members Dance with the FFA Stars
Bucklin FFA Greenhands had the opportunity to learn about being positive role models, learning
to get involved, making sound choices, becoming active team members and making a positive
difference in their lives, school and community at the annual Greenhand Motivational Conference on Thursday, January 5, 2012. This conference was presented by the State FFA Officers
and sponsored by MFA Incorporated.
Through interactive workshops and skits the State FFA Officers encouraged first-year FFA members to explore and reach outside their comfort zone for the opportunities provided through FFA
membership. They helped the new agriculture students set goals for their education, careers, and
FFA experience. The Area III FFA Officers also assisted with the conference.
Nineteen conferences were held throughout the week at 13 different locations throughout the
state. Bucklin students attended the conference at Truman State University at Kirksville.
Front Row (left to right): Missouri State Vice-Presidents Adam Birk, Jackson; Samantha
Whittaker, Miller; Lane Howard, Salem; Sarah Davis, Poplar Bluff; and Megan Mayfield, Fair
Grove. Second Row (left to right): Jacy Pate, Jody Brock, Karlee Corbin, Maddison Hendricks,
