Flu Season
As we have all seen the flu season is back!
Please be sure students are washing hands. Also please refrain from having stuffed animals in your room. They can attract germs and can be a source of spreading of illnesses. I realize some of you have used this in the past as an incentive but with this crazy flu season we need to look at ways to prevent spreading of the illnesses.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Please consider attending the meeting by Marcie on Friday. This is an excellent way to reach out to parents and families to involve them in literacy here at Jane Ball. Thanks to Marcie on all her hard work putting this together.
