In honor of Ellie R. Hanson, Mrs. Hanson is collecting items for The Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville. The Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville has supported the needs of over 33,000 families seeking medical treatment at Jacksonville’s major pediatric healthcare providers, including Wolfson Children’s Hospital, Nemours Children’s Specialty Care, and other health facilities in the area. Families staying at Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville enjoy private and secure accommodations, nutritious meals prepared by our volunteers, access to technology, indoor and outdoor play areas, a fully stocked pantry, transportation to local hospitals, and other services. In 2016, the Ronald McDonald House grew to a 53-bedroom, 65,000 square foot house in hopes of never having to turn away a family in need. The Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville is currently caring for more than 1,200 families annually. As Jacksonville grows as a premier regional destination for pediatric healthcare so does the demand for our services.

NEWS FROM ST. JOHNS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
|
|
The St. Johns County School District and the local Department of Health are working together to follow the recommended guidelines of the CDC regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This guidance offers specific steps for school staff, parents, and students to take during the current low-risk conditions, as well as for more severe conditions. It is recommended, that based on current conditions, students and staff with flu-like illness stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of a fever. This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medications (i.e., any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).
The CDC emphasizes washing hands, respiratory etiquette and staying home when sick:
- Practice good hand hygiene. Students and staff members should wash their hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.
- Practice respiratory etiquette. Illnesses can spread from person to person in the droplets produced by coughs and sneezes, so it is important to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands.
- Stay home if you are sick. Keeping sick students home means decreasing the spread of germs to others.
