Saturday, April 27, Allegany County Spring Pill Drop is a chance to clean out your medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - your unused or unwanted medications. You can drop off any medication, no questions asked, at the fire departments in Andover and Wellsville on Saturday April 27 from 10am to 2pm. 8,950 tons of medications have been collected nationwide in the years that the DEA has sponsored this "Take Back" Day.
🚨 Exciting News at Whitesville Central School! 🚨

⏰Have you caught up on your sleep from losing an hour for daylight savings time? At WCS, we know that sleep is just as important to our students' health as good nutrition🍎 and physical activity. 🏃♀️ Too little sleep can lead to an unhealthy weight, and puts us at higher risk for type 2 diabetes, even for kids. Eatright.org talks about how important sleep is to kids and gives us tips on how to prioritize getting enough sleep. https://www.eatright.org/health/wellness/healthful-habits/how-sleep-habits-affect-healthy-weight
