January 2017

On January 11th, nine Belleville High School students were recognized at lunch for the month of December by each department at BHS. Students were treated to Godfather's pizza and Mrs. Schween's brownies, along with a certificate from their teacher and movie coupons donated by Marcus Theaters. For this round, teachers commented how hard the students worked and about their positive character. Congratulations to a great pack of Wildcats!

Have you fallen in the last year? Are you worried about falls? You’re not alone – more than one-third of people age 65 and older fall each year, but research shows that falls are preventable!
Sign up for Stepping On, a seven-week workshop that has been proven to reduce falls by 30%. In the workshop you will learn simple and fun strength and balance exercises, how vision and medication affect your balance, ways to stay safe in the community, what to look for in safe shoes, and how to make sure your home is safe.

Dear Editor,
We thank all the blood donors and volunteers who braved the icy streets and sidewalks and strong winds on Tuesday, January 10th to insure a successful drive. Our goal was 51 units and actually 56 units were collected.
New levels were achieved by some donors: Dick Bovre, four gallons; Joe Lacy, three gallons; Keith Steffen and Brad Halvensleben, two gallons; and Clarice Loeffelholz and Tori Smith, one gallon.
