🦠 Flu Season Survival Guide: Keeping Our School Healthy! 🌈

Flu's making its rounds, and we're on a mission to keep our school community safe and sound! 💪 Georgia's seeing some serious flu action, so let's team up to stop those germs in their tracks.

Quick health hacks to keep everyone smiling and healthy:
- 💉 Vaccines are your superhero shield
- 🧼 Wash those hands like a germ-fighting champion
- 🤧 Catch those coughs and sneezes (elbow bump, anyone?)
- 🏠 Stay home if you're feeling under the weather

Pro tip for parents: Kiddos should be fever-free with no assistance from meds for 24 hours before returning to school.

Stay informed, stay healthy, and let's crush this flu season together! 💖 Need more info? Check out CDC and Georgia Department of Health websites for the latest updates.

Mrs. Peeples' class felt their hearts grow three sizes today!

Reminder: Friday is an early release day (12:30) and there is no ASP!

Students in Mrs. Peeples' and Mrs. Paula's class were hard to find in their camouflage, but we think their reindeer antlers made them a little easier to see!
