We are hearing a lot about the swine flu (H1N1 virus) and although
there is room for caution there is no need to worry. The very best
thing your student can do to prevent illness is wash their hands
frequently and cover their mouth/nose when sneezing or coughing. So
many illnesses can be prevented with just these 2 simple steps. Proper
rest, diet and exercise also are essential.
The following information has been sent out to the campus, but a good reminder from home wouldn't hurt either.
