Way to go Mrs. Bensch and student council, their Toys for Tots service project worked hard and had a successful drive, collecting over 100 toys that were donated for the Christmas Holidays.

Ms. Byrd challenged her students to bring in a toy for Toys-for-Tots and explain how it connected to their learning this semester and present it to their classmates. She presented this to all three classes: APUSH, Eng I Acc, and USH and all three classes accepted the challenge! In total, they donated 28 toys. This was a lesson in love and community as well as in their subject area!

Take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs.

• Take everyday preventive actions that are recommended to reduce the spread of flu.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • If you are sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
• Cover coughs and sneezes.
  • 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. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with viruses that cause flu.
• For flu, CDC recommends that people stay home for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone except to get medical care or other necessities. Fever should be gone without the need to use a fever-reducing medicine. Note that the stay-at-home guidance for COVID-19 may be different. Learn about some of the similarities and differences between flu and COVID-19.
