MISCELLANEOUS

No TDAP, No schedule! A new State law now requires that all incoming 7th to 12th graders get a whooping cough booster shot, called Tdap, before entering school. You will not be able to get your schedule or be able to start school next year until you receive the shot and documentation is brought to the school office! Have your parents contact your doctor now to schedule this booster shot. If you have any questions about the shot or where to get it, please see the staff member in charge of immunizations in the office.


From wikipedia:
Tamara de Lempicka (May 16, 1898–March 18, 1980), born Maria Górska in Warsaw, in partitioned Poland, was a Polish Art Deco painter and "the first woman artist to be a glamour star."

Born into a wealthy and prominent family, her father was Boris Gurwik-Górski, a Polish lawyer, and her mother, the former Malvina Decler, a Polish socialite. Maria was the middle child with two siblings. She attended boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, and spent the winter of 1911 with her grandmother in Italy and on the French Riviera, where she was treated to her first taste of the Great Masters of Italian painting. In 1912, her parents divorced and Maria went to live with her wealthy Aunt Stefa in St. Petersburg, Russia. When her mother remarried, she became determined to break away to a life of her own. In 1913, at the age of fifteen, while attending the opera, Maria spotted the man she became determined to marry. She promoted her campaign through her well-connected uncle and in 1916 she married Tadeusz Łempicki in St. Petersburg—a well-known ladies' man, gadabout, and lawyer by title, who was tempted by the significant dowry.
