It's hard to believe the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us.  I wish each of you a fantastic time with your families.

As wintertime arrives, we are reminded that flu season may visit some of us.  To keep you and yours healthy remember these few tips: 

              Eating fresh fruits and veggies boosts vitamin intake.

              Good handwashing helps prevent  the spread of germs.

              Cover coughs by coughing into your sleeve/elbow.

              Keep children home with fever.

              Seek medical attention for continued problems.

Attention 5th grade parents: Remember that rising 6th graders are required to have the new Tdap vaccine.  Winterbreak would be a good time to get this vaccine administered if your child has already had their 11th birthday.  Call if you have questions.  Send proof of the vaccine to the school for your child's file.
