Taylor Road Elementary
2010-2011 Character Council: Emily M. (Treasurer),
Delaney K. (Treasurer), Luka W., Amanda M., Taylor L.,
Cameron D., Gunnar G., Max C. (President), Bryden S.,
Lindsey L. (Vice President), Anna S. (Secretary),
Mackenzie M., Rachel P., Camby G., and Aishwarya A.
Since their election by fellow classmates at the
beginning of the year, these fourth graders have
been working hard to help make Taylor Road
Elementary an awesome place to learn! So far
this year they have been operating the school
store and leading the Pledge of Allegiance during
morning announcements. They’ve also been
great hosts! They enjoyed lunch with our visiting
author, Steve Harpster, and meet-and-greet
lunches with our new students. Their service isn’t
limited to just our school, though. During Red
Ribbon Week, they collected and sorted over 700
soap products for our donation to Reynoldsburg
Helping Hands. This month Character Council
will be counting box tops and collecting
Thanksgiving food donations for Reynoldsburg
Helping Hands during the week of November
th
th
15 –19 . They are a great group of hardworking
students! Congratulations and thank you!

From Mrs. Wright,
School Nurse:
Health
Notes
Central Ohio has seen a rise in Pertussis (whooping cough)
cases over the last several months. With children now in school, the risk
for even more cases is high.
Whooping cough is a disease that is passed easily from person to
person. It can cause coughing so severe that it leads to vomiting or
broken ribs.
Children diagnosed with whooping cough are required to stay out
of school for at least five (5) days and may miss weeks of school.
Even worse, children with whooping cough can spread it to babies
at home. It can be deadly for babies, causing them to cough so much
that they cannot breathe.
Pertussis usually begins with cold-like symptoms and often
proceeds to a severe, constant cough that ends with a “whoop” sound.
Older children, teens, and adults may not have the “whoop.” Therefore,
it is important that parents:
• Make sure your children are up-to-date on their immunizations.
(A DULTS CAN ALSO GET A BOOSTER FOR WHOOPING COUGH .)
• Cover your cough and wash your hands.
• Stay home when sick.
• Call your doctor if you or your child have any of the above
symptoms.

Name Names!
From Mrs. Smith
>>When sending in
attendance notes or
any correspondence
regarding your child,
PLEASE write your
child’s first and last
name on the note.
>>If you write a check
to the school or to our
PTO, please be sure to
include your child’s
name on the memo
line. If the check is for
lunch money, please
also include the
student’s 6-digit ID
number (note the catchy
poem to the right). It is
especially hard to
identify the correct
student if your last
name is different from
your child’s.
>>Be sure to send in a
note or email (even
after you have called in
an absence) when your
child returns to school
so the absence will be
excused. You may
email Ms. Morgan at
[email protected].
Thank you!

THANK YOU to those who
worked at our book fair last
month! Book Fair Chairperson,
Kristin St. Clair, and her co-chairs
Kristi Anderson-Dean and Lisa
Dulay, deserve an extra-special
Tornado “thank you” for their
superb job of coordinating the
entire event. And what a
successful event it was! Because
of the incredible support of our
Taylor Road families, our library
will have approximately $4500
to spend on Scholastic Books!
Thank you, Taylor Road!
The United States
is not the only
country that
celebrates
Thanksgiving.
Canada holds its
Thanksgiving
celebration on the
2nd Monday in
October.
Interesting, eh?
CONGRATULATIONS TO TAYLOR ROAD
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, STAFF, AND FAMILIES!
