Hey Seventh Graders!
Reminders:

Flu Concerns:
Due to the the media coverage of the swine flu, I have included some tips on
how to stay healthy!
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw
the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or
sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from school
until 24 hours after a fever breaks. Also, limit contact with others to keep
from infecting them.
- Vaccines are available for both the flu and H1N1 (Swine flu) illnesses.
