In The Middle
A newsletter to and for the parents of CLMS - 2/21/19
Message from the Principal
Fellow Winter Survivors,
You are doing well. We so appreciate the support as we struggle with the bizarre winter we are having. It was a short, but action packed week at CLMS.
Our eighth graders are registering for their freshman year and our 6th and 7th will be doing so soon as well.
We had a great health fair and the play went off without a hitch - you still have time to see in Saturday 2/23/19 at 2 PM in the PAC at CLHS.
We are all in this together.

CLMS Principal

What is influenza (flu)?
The flu is a respiratory disease caused by a virus that attacks the nose, throat, and lungs. Illness is usually mild or moderate, not requiring hospitalization. However, at times flu can be severe, even leading to death. It is not the same as the “stomach flu.”
What are the symptoms?
Flu symptoms include fever, dry cough, sore throat, headache, extreme tiredness, and body aches. These symptoms usually begin suddenly and might be severe enough to stop your daily activities.
How can I be a Flu Fighter?
- Get vaccinated.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or cough or sneeze into your sleeve.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, or an alcohol-based, water less hand sanitizer.
- Protect infants by not exposing them to large crowds or sick family members when flu is in your community.
- Do not share drinking cups and straws.
- Clean commonly touched surfaces often (door knobs, refrigerator handles, phones, and water faucets).
