• If you happened to drive by the
Cooper Elementary School last
Saturday afternoon, you heard a lot
of laughter, neighbors catching up on
the latest news and kids screaming,
"I want more tickets!” The PTO Fall
Festival was a huge success, hundreds
of people turned out to play games,
eat junk food and just have a good
time, while raising money for the
Elementary PTO. The Fall Festival
raised over $ 1,700., but we could not
have done it without our wonderful

Pneummococcal
Vaccinations Can
Prevent
Unnecessary
Illness or Death
Every year, more than half a mil-
lion people in the U.S. get pneumo-
nia, and 40,000 die of pneumococ-
cal disease. People with low resis-
tance are especially at risk for these
deadly infections, at least half of
which can be prevented by a simple,
safe vaccine. But only 43% of Tex-
ans over 65 years old needing vacci-
nation have taken advantage of this
protection.
The Texas Department of Health
(TDH) recommends that those who
are 65 or older or have diabetes, heart
or lung disease talk with their health
care provider about the “pneumonia
shot.” The “pneumonia shot,” or
pneumococcal vaccination, offers
protection against the deadly effects
of pneumonia and its complications.
TDH is working in partnership with
other agencies to ensure the availabil-
ity and accessibility of the vaccine to
the public.
Pneumococcal disease is a serious
disease that causes much sickness
and death In fact, pneumococcal
disease kills more people in the
United States each year than all other
vaccine-preventable disease com-
bined. Anyone can get pneumococ-
cal disease, but some people are at
greater risk from the disease These
include people 65 and older, the very
young, and people with special health
problems such as alcoholism, heart
or lung disease, kidney failure, dia-
betes, HIV infection or certain types
of cancer
Pneumococcal disease can lead to
serious infections of the lungs (pneu-
monia), the blood (bacteremia), and
the covering of the brain (meningi-
tis). About 1 out of every 20 people
who get pneumococcal pneumonia
dies from it, as do about 2 out of 10
people who get bacteremia, and 3 out
of 10 who get meningitis. People
with the special health problems
mentioned above are even more likely
to die from the disease. Drugs such
as penicillin were once effective in
treating these infections, but the dis-
ease has become more resistant to
these drugs, making treatment of
pneumococcal infections more diffi-
cult. This makes prevention of the
disease through vaccination even
more important.
William Scobie

Violinist is Guest
Artist for Cooper
Elem. Students
William Scobie, a Texas Touring
Arts Roster recitalist and veteran
member of the Dallas Symphony Or-
chestra, held two master classes for
students in grades one - three; grades
four and five; and spent a special time
with kindergarten students Tuesday,
October 27th. He performed selec-
tions from composers such as Bach,
Mozart, and Scott Joplin and shared
many musical secrets with a captive
audience. Mr. Scobie enjoys playing
solo violin concerts for school chil-
dren and continued on to Sulphur
springs for an engagement at Hous-
ton Elementary later in the day. He
was accompanied by his wife, Greta,
a former elementary principal in
Richardson. His visit was arranged
through the Cooper G/T program in
cooperation with Ann Gilliland,
President of Paris Area Arts Alliance.
Mrs. Gilliland was on hand for the
concert.

First Grade Visits the Pumpkin Patch
On Tuesday, October 27, 1998, the first grade from Cooper Elementary
embarked on their annual field trip to the Pumpkin Patch in Sulphur Springs.
They enjoyed a picnic lunch at Kid’s Kingdom before reaching the final
destination.
Once at the Pumpkin Patch, the students were treated with stories about
how pumpkins are grown, as well as getting to see first hand what pumpkin
vines look like. They also had a great discussion about the colors of fall
leaves. They were treated to a snack, and had a hunt for the “Golden
Pumpkin.”
The trip was very educational, as well as enjoyable. It was a great way to
get the kids interested in plants, and how they grow which are curriculum
goals for the spring.
The first grade teachers would like to express heart-felt appreciation to
all the parents and grandparents who spent this great experience with us.
Front row: Holly Slakey - 2nd, Brittani Bettes - 3rd, and Whitney
Deatherage - 1st. Back row: Megan Walker - 5th, and Janna Lane -
4th. All these girls were winners of the “Tall Tales” contest for their
grade level. Each won $10.00.
