In Good Health and Good Times

In an effort to prevent the spread of flu, please remind teachers, students, and parents to:

 Wash hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer;

 Avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth;

 Avoid close contact with those who are already sick;

 Get plenty of sleep;

 Eat healthy food and drink plenty of fluids;

 Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with a tissue or into the crook of your arm;

 Clean commonly touched surfaces; and

 Stay home if ill for at least 24 hours after fever is gone.

Also, please remember that there is still time to obtain a flu shot. Even though the flu vaccine does not protect against all flu strains, it may still reduce the severity of flu-related complications.
