[email protected] raises $1,883 for orphansPERRYSBURG – Toth Elementary raised $1,883 during a
Penny Fundraising Drive last week in conjunction with the organization Providing Orphans and Vulnerable
Children With Educational Resources.The group’s goal is education for Africa’s orphans and vulnerable
children. Currently there are 35 million orphans in Africa, and many of these orphans grow up without
acquiring an education.Lawmakers OK allergyshots in Ohio schoolsCOLUMBUS (AP) – The Ohio House has passed a
bill that will make it much easier for schools to stock general-use supplies of epinephrine shots used to
counter allergic reactions.The bill was approved Wednesday by the House and now will go to the state Senate
for consideration.The action wouldn’t force schools to stock epinephrine injectors. But it would make it
easier for schools to stock the injectors by removing barriers such as cost.Currently, parents who know
their child has allergies can send epinephrine with their child to school. But it’s illegal for school
nurses to dispense doses to anyone else who might have an allergic reaction at school.
