Hot cider, pumpkins, and…the flu

Falling leaves and doorsteps decorated by bright orange pumpkins signal—among other things—that the cold and flu season has arrived!

Since you may find yourself surrounded by sneezes in your classroom at some point in the next few weeks, take some steps to protect yourself from germs—and keep yourself from missing a few days of school. Try to:

  • Get a flu shot to limit your chances of getting sick.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Eat healthy foods.
  • Wash your hands regularly.
  • Get eight hours of sleep (even if that means that last set of papers has to be graded the next day).
