| Beck Wants You! To be a volunteer
Parent volunteers are needed to help continue with the Beck Mentoring Program this year. This is a program in which faculty members commit their time to mentor one or more Beck students in an effort to build a relationship that goes beyond the normal teacher/student interaction.
In an effort to provide time during the school day for the teachers to meet with their mentees, we need parent volunteers to cover advisories (1:50-2:35) on a rotating basis. Volunteers can commit to helping once a month or more frequently if their schedule permits. Please contact Bonda Snyder, VIPS coordinator if you are interested. Her email is bbbtsnyder@consolidated.net

Dear Beck Community,
Texas Vaccine will be at Beck Junior High offering:
“SEASONAL” flu Shots
Thursday, September 3rd

This year the CDC is recommending getting the Seasonal Flu vaccine as soon as possible and to get the Swine Flu vaccine when they have it ready for groups with high risk. The swine flu vaccine will be distributed by the government when it is available.
2 choices on the “SEASONAL” influenza vaccine:
1. FLU SHOT: about 80% effective. For people between 6 months to any age. Cost : $20.00
2. FLU MIST (inhaled nasal spray): almost 100% effective. For people 2 to 49 years old. People have to be healthy, without asthma and not pregnant. Cost: $30.00
It is not recommended for those who are allergic to egg products or people with a fever.
Adult vaccines also available:
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis, recommended every 5-10 yrs)- $30.00
Pneumonia Vaccine (for people 50 years and older): $45.00
Medicare is accepted for the flu shot and Pneumonia Vaccine.
Please remind your students to wash their hands often and cough into a tissue or arm- not their hands.
