Spring is here and with it an increase in Rabies exposures and questions. Otsego County Department of Health would like to take this opportunity to remind all providers that animal bites are required to be reported to the Local Health Department. This letter is meant to highlight some of the important factors to remember when a client presents with an animal bite.  

This spring we hope to create a beautiful living tribute to school nurse Mrs. Martin in the school garden that everyone can enjoy. In this way we will honor her and recognize the special role she played in the LCS community.

On May 29, 2019 there will be assemblies to highlight our school garden and the role that Mrs. Martin played in its creation. Until the end of February there will be a “Seed Money” collection jar at the receptionist desk for anyone to contribute their pocket change for spring plantings in the garden.

Mrs. Martin was instrumental in starting the school garden and played an active role in helping to maintain it.  Fostering and enhancing this special area of our school is a way to show our appreciation for how Mrs. Martin cared for everyone in the LCS community during her many years here.
