PREVENTING SCALD BURNS
Since burns are among the most painful and devastating injuries a person
can sustain and survive, the experts at Children's Hospital want to arm
you with the tools to keep your children safe from burns- specifically,
scald burns.
Young children are among the high-risk population for these types of
burns simply because they are not aware of the difference between 'cold'
and 'hot' or don't recognize danger. The good news is that this type of
injury is 100 percent preventable.
Children's Hospital is home to the largest pediatric burn center in the
Southeast. Last year, approximately 170 children were treated for burns
in at Children's.
"It is important to remember that children, especially those ages 4 and
under, may not perceive danger and have less control of their
environment," said Lou Standifer, Director of the Children's Hospital
Burn Center "Young children lack the ability to escape a
life-threatening burn situation and may not be able to tolerate the
physical stress of a burn injury. "
Burn Awareness Week is February 6-12. This year one of the focus areas
is preventing scald burn injuries. Here are some important tips to
remember to keep your child safe from scalding:
* Establish a safe hot water temperature by setting your water
heater at a maximum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit or by
installing an anti-scald device on your water heater. An anti-scald
device controls the temperature of the water in your home in order to
eliminate accidental scalding when turning on the bath tub or shower.
They can be purchased at most hardware stores and are easy to install.
* Do not place hot food or liquids near the counter's edge or
within a child's reach.
* Do not hold children while cooking or drinking hot liquids.
* Make the stove area a "kid-free zone" (three feet is a good
distance). Mark it on the floor with bright tape.
* When using electrical appliances (crock pot, fryers, steam
humidifiers, etc.), keep electrical cords out of reach of children.

Parents, please put on your calendar January 13 at 2:00PM. That is the date and time of the Honors Day Program for kindergarten through sixth grades. This program will be held in the Verbena High auditorium. Students who have all A and A/B grades for the second nine weeks will be recognized. Teachers will also be awarding the students who have been chosen to receive Good Citizen certificates from each homeroom for the second nine weeks. Students at the annex who are car riders will need to be picked up at the main campus on this day due to the time of the program. There will be a sign-in sheet in the lobby of the auditorium for parents who attend the program.
