Where to get booster for H1N1 vaccine
The Lake County Health Department will hold several 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine clinics from Feb. 9-12. This is a good time for children who need a booster vaccine from the District 70 Jan. 16 clinic to get that vaccine. See our H1N1 site for more information under LCHD.
Parent Workshop Offered on Discipline Feb. 10
Libertyville Elementary District 70 parents are invited to a special presentation at 7 p.m. on Feb. 10 to learn about Dr. Larry J. Koenig's Smart Discipline Program for parents. The event will run until 9 p.m. at Rockland School, 160 W. Rockland Road, Libertyville. "The presentation will highlight guaranteed ways to skyrocket self-esteem, even in negative kids, and proven techniques to get your kids to cooperate," Social Worker Keeley Lawriw said.
New Adler Park Principal Named
Jon R. Bogie Jr. has been hired as the new Adler Park Principal, replacing retiring Principal Janet Brownlie in July. Bogie was one of more than 50 applicants and was selected from three semi-finalists after interviews with parents, teachers and administrators. The interim principal at Apollo School in Des Plaines was a fourth grade teacher for 10 years in Glenview and started his education career as a North Chicago fifth grade teacher. He has a master's degree from National-Louis University and a bachelor's degree from Albion College. Bogie, 38, his wife, Beth, and 5-month-old daughter, Lily, live in Northbrook. "I have always believed in teaching children that their future has no limits," he said.
Successful H1N1 Clinic
Libertyville Elementary District 70 vaccinated almost 300 adults and children over a two-day H1N1 vaccination clinic. The public school district held a clinic for its staff on Jan. 15 and then opened the clinic to the public on Jan. 16. Future H1N1 vaccination clinics have not been set at this time. However, the Lake County Health Department suggests children needing a booster vaccine check with the following Libertyville businesses to see if the vaccines are in stock: Jewel-Osco, 1300 S. Milwaukee Ave., 847-916-4297; Walgreens Drug Store, 1770 N. Milwaukee Ave., 800-925-4733, and Walgreens Drug Store, 1470 S. Milwaukee Ave., 800-925-4733.
