Thanks to a resolution passed by the Utah PTA earlier this month, migraine and headache disease education will become standard across the state. The resolution included four points.
“The first and most important point is that it’s going to incorporate the education into all of the Utah state health classes,” said Elizabeth Henry Weyher, one of the founders of the Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation, which is based in Salt Lake City.
“It’s also going to provide resources and educational materials to all of the schools. These materials are specialized for children, for parents, and for educators to educate all of these people about migraine disease. It will also provide health screenings in school for children with migraine, and most importantly, it will be forwarded to the national PTA for their consideration as well.”

Choirs at Utah State University are still rehearsing in the midst of a pandemic, but what are they doing to spread music while also working to not to spread COVID-19?
“We’re a choir separated with masks, no audience, making videos to broadcast,” said Dr. Cory Evans, director of choral activities at Utah State University.
Last semester, the choirs would rehearse in a tent outside the engineering building.
“We finally stopped rehearsals last year when there was snow blowing into the tent and the kids’ music was flying,” Evans said.
New precautions had to be taken as the choirs moved inside. Now only half of the choir can come to Monday and Friday rehearsals. The entire choir meets on Wednesdays in the concert hall, but all rehearsals are only half an hour. The students wear masks while singing and sit six feet from each other. Though it s safe, singing in these conditions has its downsides.
