The Dorchester County Health Department will be here on Thursday, October 23rd, to provide flu vaccines to students and staff.
Flu can lead to severe symptoms like fever, chills, and body aches, causing children to miss school and potentially spreading illness to others at home, including vulnerable family members. Vaccines help keep your child and their loved ones safe by reducing the risk of contracting and spreading these viruses.
These clinics are conveniently located at schools, which means less time away from work and class.
For students, parents MUST sign a consent form for their child(ren) to be vaccinated. Forms are available from the school or the health department.
Please call the health department at 410-228-3223 with any questions.

📐✨ Our 6th-grade mathematicians were busy exploring polyhedra in math class! Students used magnetic tiles to design and discuss 3D shapes, applying geometry concepts in a fun, hands-on way.
A big thank-you to Mrs. Clemmons for donating the magnetic tiles that made this interactive lesson possible, and MLMS Tiger high-five to Mrs. Makowske for sparking curiosity #withJoy in the classroom!
