February 22: Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and prayer that kicks off the season of Lent in Christianity. Catholics celebrate Ash Wednesday by heading to mass and having ashes drawn in the shape of a cross upon their forehead. However, not all denominations practice this day the same way. Others may just have a day of reflection or fasting.

Your health team at Corbett has been busy with many tasks to make sure the students and staff are staying healthy.

One important task is to check on immunization records and help families know which ones students still need. According to Multnomah County (2023), “Children who are not up-to-date on their immunizations by February 15, 2023 will be excluded from their school until their immunizations are up-to-date.”

Debbie Baker, School Health Assistant, is happy to answer any

questions regarding your specific student’s immunizations that are not

current. You can reach her at (503-261-4258).

Multnomah County Student Health Centers are a good resource for

immunizations. The closest Health Center to Corbett is at Reynolds High

School. You can call 503-988-3340 for an appointment.

Wishing all our students, staff, and families a strong and healthy 2023!

Julie Nakamura, RN
