Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases known. The virus can live for up to 2 hours in the air where infected people have coughed or sneezed, or on surfaces they may have touched.

At most risk for severe illness from measles are unvaccinated people, especially children under age 5 years. Nearly 1 out of every 3 children under the age of 5 who catch measles ends up in the hospital.

At last week's board meeting, Argonaut senior Georgianna Calestini showcased the soda tab dress she entered in the FCCLA State Conference Repurpose and Redesign competition! The patience and time she dedicated to designing and creating this dress by hand paid off, as she received a 98/100 for her presentation and dress at the regional level and qualified for Nationals.
