Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 20, for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
Observed on the third Monday of January each year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was officially signed into law in 1983. Dr. King dedicated his life to the non-violent struggle for civil rights and played a pivotal role in the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In Dr. King's own words, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Over the next few weeks, we will share information on head lice treatment and prevention as part of an informational series. Head lice are a common issue that families can manage effectively with the right knowledge and steps. Early detection and proper care can prevent the spread and protect children's health.
Who gets head lice?
ANYONE can get head lice, especially pre-school and elementary children (ages 3-12) and females. Lice spread more often from family members and playmates than classmates. Cleanliness is not a factor.
What are head lice and nits?
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that feed on blood from the scalp. Nits are their eggs, small white sacs near the scalp. Each female louse can lay 7-10 nits daily, and they hatch in about 7-10 days.
How do they spread? Lice spread through direct contact with an infested person or indirect contact with items like brushes, combs, clothing, bedding, and upholstered furniture.
Next week, we will share information about:
- Signs & Symptoms
- What to do and how to treat for lice if something in your family has it.
