Wanted to get this out early so everyone can prepare a little better heading into tomorrow and our first full upcoming week. The National Weather Service has yet to issue an Excessive Heat Warning because the current forecast package is just below their temperature threshold criteria (105 and 75). But that doesn't mean it's not dangerously hot out there! I think a lot of people were caught off guard today and experienced some heat related symptoms due to the amount of stress and physical exertion that comes with powering through the first day. Please take the necessary precautions to avoid overheating. - Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and at night, not just when you start to feel hot - Limit sun exposure and where a wide-brimmed porous hat when outdoors - If outdoors for an extended period of time try to stay in the shade of a canopy or tree - Take frequent breaks inside an air conditioned building - Limit your caffeine intake and eat light meals - Wash your face with cool water multiple times a day or where a wet towel around your neck to regulate your body temperature - If you start to feel dizzy, faint, flush, nauseous, or begin sweating profusely but are still hot, get into an air conditioned building immediately and begin cooling down the body and rehydrating; or better yet, check in with your Health Aide. They'll know what to do. We've still got 2 more months of this blazing heat to go, and the forecast models don't look very promising. As you probably already noticed, our Monsoon moisture made a quick return last night. So not only is it hot, but humid as well with dew points approaching 60 degrees. The good news, however, is that rain and thunderstorm chances are back in the mix... But if, when, and where they decide to let loose is really difficult to pinpoint. Think of it this way, for some reason we've been conditioned to believe that 40% is pretty good with regards to the odds of precipitation falling at any one location, but the reality is that there's actually a 60% chance that nothing will happen. Likewise, the term relative humidity is exactly that, 'relative' to the amount of moisture the surrounding air can hold. That might sound a little confusing, but the gist is it's merely a math formula used by the media to simplify humidity values. The closer the air temperature is to the dew point temperature, the higher the percentage of humidity. That may work in Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, or Texas, but it fails to accurately depict humidity values in desert locations where the air temperature far exceeds the dew point temperature. Professional Meteorologists' use dew point temperature to determine the 'real feel', not relative humidity. And when the dew point reaches upwards of 60 degrees, you can really start to feel it. The body has to work twice as hard to cool itself because the evaporation process is restricted by the high content of surrounding moisture. That's also why our evaporative coolers in the gym aren't working very well this week. I could go on, but this is getting a little lengthy, and don't wanna take up anymore of your time. Bottom line... It is HOT. It is HUMID. And we're not getting much relief at night either under these conditions, so try and stay safe out there! Mr. Ryan Lead Custodian, MVP B.A. Atmospheric and Geographic Science, University of Oklahoma Boomer Sooner!

One Dr. Daniel Bright School teacher was looking for an innovative way to implement handwriting skills to her 1st grade classroom. In collaboration with our school district's occupational therapist and technology department, the Amazon Fire Tablet platform was recommended as it supports the Writing Wizard app seamlessly, offering a responsive and user-friendly experience for handwriting practice. Low Income Student Aid, Inc. was able to provide 6 Amazon Fire tablets for this classroom. Investments like this are only made possible because of donations and grants from our community! This will allow many 1st graders the opportunity to support their handwriting development in the classroom for years to come. #lowincomestudentaid #cottonwoodoakcreekschools #cocsd #makinganimpact #communitychildren #buildingconnections #lifechangingeducation #supportingstudents #curriculum #handwritingskills #teaching #technology #kindergarten #classroomassistance #cityofcottonwood #donations #classroominvestments
