Williams is student of the month

NAPPANEE Brandon Williams, a sixth grader at Woodview Elementary School, was chosen as the Nappanee Police Student of the Month Thursday, Nov. 21. Following is his teacher’s nomination letter. “When considering all the Life Skills that are learned and used, Brandon does an excellent job in using all of them. The first one. Integrity, is a quality Brandon has due to his strong Faith. He acts according to what is right in his day-to-day life. By his positive actions and kind words, he has the values necessary to be successful in whatever he chooses to do in the future. The second life skill is Respect. Respect is a huge life skill and it means that you value your classmates, adults, yourself, and property. Brandon is a friend to everyone and is respectful to the adults in the building. Because of this, he has been asked to be a part of a board meeting to help with the electronic bulletin board, to work in the bookstore, and to help with the Book Fair commercial. Classmates respect Brandon as well and he has many friends. The last is Effort. Brandon puts forth his very best effort in everything that he does. He goes the extra mile in making a project, or writing assignments a little better. Not only is he a successful student academically, but he has artis-

Health fair comes to Wa-Nee

NAPPANEE and WAKARUSA Community Hospital of Bremen Occupational Medicine Department recently held a Health Fair at five schools in the WaNee School System. “We were very pleased with the number of employees in the WaNee School System that participated," said Teresa Brown, occupational medicine nurse. The nurses measured body fat, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, total blcxxi cholesterol and administered flu shots. Several individuals were encouraged to follow up with their family physician regarding their elevated blood pressure and blood cholesterol, which are two major risk factors for coronary artery disease. In addition, a risk factor for diabetes is an elevated blood sugar. Information was distributed on weight control, healthy nutrition and cholesterol education. Occupational medicine nurses provide screening services for corporations, senior centers, school corporations or any group that would like to participate.

Big Bucks auction set for Dec. 19 NAPPANEE The Boys and Girls Club of Nappanee is accepting donations of new, or very gently used, items that can be auctioned to club members at the annual Big Bucks auction Dec. 19. “Throughout the year, children earn Big Bucks by doing good things,” Brad Weirich, unit director said. “These good things include doing homework properly and ontime, attending school regularly, behaving when at the club, helping a staff member or another club member, and so forth. Staff look for many ways to reward our members for desirable behaviors.” Children accumulate Big Bucks through the year and can then bid on items that are available at the auction. Weirich said the auction is an important part of the Club’s holiday season. “Often, our kids don’t have money with which to purchase Christmas gifts for family members and friends, and the auction may be the only way that they can buy gifts for others. They really enjoy the event and get into the holiday giving spirit.” Since items purchased at the auction are given for gifts, it’s important that they be new, or very gently used. And, since items may be presented to persons of all ages, a wide variety of donations are needed. Donations need not be expensive. “The kids aren’t so concerned with the value of the gift. They’re just pleased to be able to give something to another at Christmas,” Weirich said. The club would like to have donations made prior to Dec. 16, but will accept items right up to the auction date. ‘Nature Nuts’ presented by county parks ELKHART On Tuesday, December 10, join the Elkhart County Parks dnd Recreation Department and a naturalist for “Nature Nuts: In Holiday Spirit” program. As the temperatures drop and expectations of a white winter approach, the idea of curling up with a good book next to a warm fire really starts to sound good. If this sounds like something you would enjoy and you are between the ages of 3 and 5, please join a naturalist from the parks department for a time of coldweather fun. Participants are invited to bring their pillows, blankets and a favorite ornament or gifts from natural materials found right here in Elkhart County. The group will meet at Oxßow Haus Shelter in Oxßow County Park from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Parents or other adults are welcome to accompany the children. Registration and payment of $3 per child are required by 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. To register, call the Elkhart County Parks Office at 574-535-6458. Space is limited to 12 children.
