Every spring, St. Ann joins the other Lansing schools to participate in the Slam Dunk Hunger Out of Lansing Food Drive, a component of the Annual Roundball Classic 5th Grade Basketball Tournament. This year, St. Ann students gathered the highest average food donation to win the overall competition, with the Kindergarten class dominating the in-
house challenge by sending in an average of 15 food items per student! Their reward was an ice cream social, which the children enjoyed outside at the end of the school year with their teachers. St. Ann School is open to all and encourages a giving spirit in its Pre-K through 8th Grade students. FMI or to schedule a personal tour, please call 708.895.1661.

NOTICE OF SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY Thornton Township is interested in disposing of surplus and obsolete property. The sale of the property will be Saturday, July 8, 2017, in the Thornton Township Zap Garage, 425 West 169th Street, South Holland, Illinois, from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Sale specifications and criteria:
(Statepoint) Nearly half of all Americans participate in at least one outdoor activity each year, according to statistics from the Outdoor Foundation. And while many of those exercising outdoors take necessary precautions to reduce their risk for injury, they are not always as dedicated to skin protection. During the long days of summer, outdoor enthusiasts should take the following steps to avoid bites, burns and more. Mosquito Protection Mosquito bites are not just a nuisance; they are associated with Dengue Fever, Zika, West Nile and Chikungunya viruses. Ward off itch, discomfort and more serious threats by avoiding standing water whenever possible, and dressing in loose long sleeves and pants. Use a DEET-free repellent such as BullFrog Mosquito Coast, which repels mosquitoes for up to eight hours. The formula is a particularly good option for outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike DEET formulations, there is no need to wash it off when returning indoors. Different from repellent alone, it also offers SPF 30 sun protection, so you can pack light when you’re on the move. Sun Protection One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the
course of a lifetime, and men ages 15 to 39 are 55 percent more likely to die of melanoma than women in the same age group. However, a recent survey from Bullfrog Sunscreen found that while 85 percent of male outdoor sports enthusiasts ages 18 to 54 claim their prime motivation for engaging in outdoor sports is “health and wellness,” two in 10 respondents do not use sunscreen at all. Of the remaining 80 percent who said they do use sunscreen, 56 percent use it only occasionally. Those spending time outdoors should wear a hat and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside, and then reapply at least every two hours or after swimming, sweating and immediately after towel drying. A breathable, sweat-resistant formula like BullFrog Land Sport is ideal for tennis, golf and other land sports, while an advanced waterresistant formula should be used for swimming and other water sports. More skin safety tips can be found at BullFrogSunscreen. com. While the warmer months are a great time for all your favorite outdoor activities, from hiking to swimming to camping, this time of year comes with its own health hazards. Luckily, there are many steps you can take to protect skin. PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Maridav - Fotolia.com
