Flu Update and Precautions

As many of you know all too well, the flu has hit Washtenaw County and has made its way into Wines. Below is a link to information from our school district regarding the flu.

http://bit.ly/AAPSfluprevent

Please help us prevent the spread of flu by following the suggestions at the link. In addition, if your child is going to be home sick and you are leaving a message with us on our voicemail, please indicate the symptoms your child has and if your child has been officially diagnosed with the flu, please let us know that information. Also, while children’s Motrin is certainly a game changer for busy parents, please don’t “cover” your child’s fever with medication in the morning. Motrin wears off after a few hours and our office is often full of sick students at about 1:00 each day. These students not only feel horrible, they are potentially spreading the flu.

Wines Wahoo: March 2^nd

The annual Wines Wahoo is scheduled for March 2^nd at Forsythe Middle School. This Wines tradition needs volunteers to make it another fantastic event. Please click on the link below to volunteer.
