Grades 3-6 are going to be sending Christmas cards to the Oxford Vets Home for the holiday. If anyone has some old cards and is looking to rehome them, we would love them!
We are also collecting hairspray, shaving cream, socks, adult coloring books and coloring pencils. People tend to forget there are women in the Vets home as well.
Please have all items in by Dec 20th so they can be sent to the Oxford Vets Home in time for the holidays.
Thank you,
Mrs. J Green

The New York State Department of Health has selected Downsville Central School to be a part of the annual BMI (body mass index) survey. As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed, and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to figure out the student’s body mass index or ‘BMI’. The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status group be included as part of the student’s school health examination. Only summary information is sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose to have your child’s information excluded from this survey report.
The information sent to the New York State Department of Health will help health officials develop programs that make it easier for children to be healthier.
If you do not wish to have your child’s weight status group information included as part of the Health Department’s survey this year, please contact the Health Office at 607-363-2120 by December 22nd, 2022.
