Safety Update from Mr. Booth
Week 14: Handwashing & Germ Prevention "Stop Germs in Their Tracks"
Flu season is approaching, and handwashing is one of the easiest ways to stay healthy. Remind students to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds—especially after using the restroom, before eating, and after recess. Help them cover sneezes and coughs with a tissue or elbow, and to avoid touching their face. Healthy habits help protect our whole school community!
