FLU SEASON

Flu season is now upon us. We have had several cases of the flu already this year at the school. We will be reminding students about practicing good daily strategies to avoid getting sick: washing your hands with soap and water often throughout the day and always before you eat, getting enough sleep every night, being physically fit, and eating healthy foods.

Please continue to teach your child(ren) at home about the importance of these daily practices in order to keep healthy.

You can also go to the WRHA site to find out information about their free flu shot clinics in our area next week: St. James Flu Clinic
