School officials need to review the child’s immunizations to be certain the child meets the stan- dards as set by the state regard- ing immunizations. Parents are to bring all records of their child’s immunizations. If a student’s records do not meet the standards, he/she will not be eligible to attend school. If immunizations are against a child’s religious belief or if the parents have a strong moral or ethnical conviction similar to a religious belief, the parents must sign the reverse side of the “Cer- tificate of Immunization” stating their reason. If immunization is not medical- ly advisable at the time, a physi- cian must sign the medical ex- emption on the reverse side of the certificate. The necessary form may be re- quested from the school nurse. Parents should bring with them to registration the child, two proofs of residency, proof of age, immunizations, the child’s Social Security guard and their parent/guardian photo.

PARTY Continued from Page 1 engage them and provide an en- joyable atmosphere. Kim Baltruchitis, of Court- dale, said her 5-year-old daugh- ter Brianna loves to cook, so the party was a great way to spend the afternoon with her friends. “She loves to make anything with flour and water,” said Bal- truchitis. Brianna’s birthday is next and her mother is still trying to fig- ure out what kind of party to throw for her. “This is something out of the ordinary,” Baltruchitis said of the pizza party. “We usually go bowling. It’s tough to find some- thing to keep the kids interested and to have stuff for the parents to do.” Joe Tomasino enjoyed the idea that the children are ex- posed to new experiences, even potentially inspiring some fu- ture foodies or chefs. “I think this is the start of something — we may develop of a package deal (for parties like this in the future),” he said. $00 5 Is yw ¥. 50.90.

VIETNAM Continued from Page 1 Flo Mociun, of Centermore- land, also spoke very highly of “Father Vinny,” as many parish- ioners affectionately call him. “He’s a real people priest,” she said. Croop said Dang even offered his own car when hers broke down a few years ago. “He’s just such a good person,” she said. Mooney said the event also re- minds him of another time in his life — the yearlong tour of duty he served in Vietnam while he was a U.S. Army soldier. “I could think of better places to be,” he said of his time there. But Mooney enjoys speaking the little bit of Vietnamese he picked up during his time in the military, in addition to the com- pany of Dang and the local Viet- namese community. He and Dang exchanged phras- es in passing while prepping for the event. The translation? “It means, 1 love you very much,” said Mooney. © PULILE ANSWERS . — King Crossword — Answers Solution time: 27 mins.
