H1N1 Information With so many resources available about the H1N1 Virus, we are taking extra precautions to make sure our Bigs and Littles have the correct information to keep themselves healthy! It's important not to panic about the flu, and to take the key steps to protect yourself and your family. Make sure you are washing your hands, covering your cough and sneezes with a tissue and staying home for at least 24 hours after your symptoms are no longer present. If you do get sick, make sure you contact your doctor as soon as possible and stay away from school or work.  Take a minute to make sure you're up to date with the most current H1N1 information.
