The flu season is
upon us. The
single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated.
However, there are many simple healthy habits that can
help prevent any respiratory illness like the flu.
1. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
2. Stay home when you are ill.
3. Cover your mouth and nose.
4. Clean your hands often.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
6. Get plenty of sleep.
Get
adequate fluids and eat nutritious foods.
Become a germ stopper by following these
simple healthy habits.
Many
Independent Hill School and PACE Middle students participated
in a series of lessons on hygiene and hand washing.
Please allow your child to stay home from
school if they are ill. If
you have a question about when it is inappropriate to send
your child to school, please contact Nurse Bunny at
