Dear Parents,

Based on a recent decision by the Nevada legislature and on updated recommendations from the Washoe County District Health Department, students entering 7th grade in the Washoe County School District will be required to show proof of immunization against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) prior to school enrollment for the 2010-2011 school year.

Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection that can occur in places like middle schools, where there is close interaction among large numbers of students. Although most children are immunized against pertussis before enrolling in kindergarten, immunity wears off over time and leaves adolescents unprotected.

This new requirement affects all students entering 7th grade, provided at least 5 years have passed since the student’s last childhood tetanus-containing vaccine (Td, DTP or DTaP).

Parents are encouraged to review their child’s shot record and make arrangements with their health care provider for vaccination prior to the busy ‘Back to School’ season. School begins on August 23, 2010.

For more information, you may contact the Washoe County Immunization Program at 328-3724 or visit their website at www.washoecounty.us/health.

Ready for an entertaining evening of fabulous music - and it is right here in Incline Village?  You won't want to miss the SNC Choir presenting songs from Broadway.

Back by popular demand, the SNC Choir will once again be performing classic songs from some of Broadway’s best-loved shows, this time to the tunes of the current long-running musical Wicked, Paint Your Wagon—which famously featured crooners Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in the film version—and the iconic South Pacific, generally considered one of the greatest musicals of all time, with a number of its songs going on to become worldwide standards.

Wicked tells the story of the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Galinda, the Good Witch of the North. The show was nominated for ten 2004 Tony Awards, winning for Best Actress, Scenic Design, and Costume Design. Paint Your Wagon, the 1951 Broadway musical comedy set in a mining camp in Gold Rush-era California, inspired the later film version in 1969, which ended up bearing little resemblance to the musical on which it is ostensibly based. South Pacific is a 1949 musical with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1950 for its sensitive and candid depiction of racial prejudice at that time, drawing from James A. Michener's 1948 novel Tales of the South Pacific (which also won a Pulitzer Prize).

The concert, which will be performed under the direction of Donna Roberts Axton, SNC program chair of music, is scheduled for Wednesday, May 12, at 7pm in Patterson Hall on the SNC campus in Incline Village. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door; kids are free.

Donna Axton teaches classes in music theory, music history, humanities, voice, and piano at Sierra Nevada College. For more information on the concert, please call her at 775.881.7586 or email her at daxton@sierranevada.edu.
