Reading and Teamwork
The Lingle Lions came to Frank Tillery Elementary School to read to Mrs. Wilson's Kindergarten class. New coach, Jason Craft, has stressed to his team that their studies are more important than football. The Lingle Lion Football players that made the Honor Roll were allowed to come read to Mrs. Wilson's class, particpate in their stations, and even join in their ice cream party!

Head Lice
Back to School means Homework and Head Lice!
Head lice infestation is very common and is distributed worldwide. Preschool and elementary-age children, 3 to 11 years of age, are infested most often. Females are infested more often than males, probably due to more frequent head to head contact. They are typically spread through direct head-to-head contact or by students sharing hats, clothing, towels or combs. Click on the following links to view an award-winning informational video on Head Lice entitled "Head Lice to Dead Lice".
