As we get ready to welcome students back on August 11th for the 2025–2026 school year, we encourage all families to prioritize student health and safety now. Please ensure your child’s required vaccinations and physical examinations are up to date before the first day of school. Vaccinations can be completed through your child’s healthcare provider or the Putnam County Health Department. If your student will need prescription medication or treatments during school hours, please provide a current, signed physician order. Over-the-counter medications require a signed parent consent form.

🚌✨ The GABBIE Bus Came to Camp! ✨🚌 Our summer camp had an amazing day with a special visit from the GABBIE Bus – and what a fun and educational experience it was! Our campers learned all about staying healthy in the most interactive way: 🧼 They discovered how germs spread and the importance of handwashing – scrubbing those hands clean. 🦷 They practiced brushing their teeth properly and learned how to keep those smiles bright and healthy! while singing the Happy Birthday song 🎶 🐮🐷 And the fun didn’t stop there – they got up close with some adorable stuffed farm animals and learned all about them. A huge thank you to the GABBIE Bus team for making health education so engaging and memorable for our campers. 💚 #SummerCampFun #HealthyHabits #GABBIEBusVisit #HappyCampers #HandwashingHeroes #FarmAnimalFriends
