MRSA
MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) has been in the news recently due to the death of a student in Virginia. Staph (staphylococcus aureus) is a bacteria that can be found anywhere. At any given time people can have staph in their nose or on their skin and it doesn't make them sick. However, staph can cause an illness if it enters the body through a break in the integrity of the skin such as a cut or scrape. This is why it is important to wash cuts or scrapes with mild soap and water and to keep open areas covered to prevent infections. MRSA is a form of staph which has developed, that is resistant to some of the antibiotics that are used to treat staph. It is usually a mild skin infection that can be treated successfully by a doctor.
Please see the links below to find out more information from Dr. David Damsker, Community Health Medical Director, Wake County Human Services.

Daniels
Middle School is an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Magnet School (IBMYP) |
The IBMYP philosophy includes ALL middle school students. It is based on the best available research and collaboration of practitioners from all over the world.
The program at Daniels is designed to reach the entire student body. It is not selective or elitist in nature. Because the program emphasizes high standards of teaching and instruction as well as concentration on study skills and connections between subjects, average or below average students benefit as much as accelerated learners.
Please visit the IB Magnet Program link on this Web Page to find out more information.
