FACULTY AND STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS

FHS Staff Book Club - Upcoming Book Discussions

3/27 @ 2:30 pm in the Closed Classroom - Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

4/24 @ 2:30 pm in the Closed Classroom - Being Mortal by Atul Gawande

Several members of our book club are considering enrolling in a Reflective Reading course offered for grad credits online by Dominican University out of California: Dominican University Reflective Reading Course. So, we decided to choose our books for the next 3 months from the course’s book list; all of these books are ones that had been on our “to-read” list anyway, so we’re killing 2 birds with one stone. Our book discussions will not be related to the course, so you’re welcome to come discuss these books with us whether you’re planning to take this course or not.

Flu Advisory - 2019

Rates of flu-like illness rose in Massachusetts in the past seven days, according to

the latest weekly Massachusetts Department of Public Health flu report. Flu viruses are thought to spread mainly from person to person through coughs

and sneezes of infected people. Less often, a person also might get the flu by

touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own

mouth, eyes, or nose. People of all ages get sick with flu. School-aged children are

a group with a high rate of flu illness.

Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body

aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people, especially children, may have

vomiting and diarrhea. People may also be infected with flu and have respiratory

symptoms without a fever.

The good news is that it is not too late to protect yourself and your family from

the flu by getting a flu shot. There is still plenty of flu vaccine available in

communities across Massachusetts. Call your health care provider to schedule a

visit for a flu shot, visit a local pharmacy, or search for flu vaccination locations at

https://vaccinefinder.org/. Here are several recommendations to protect your children and family members

from the flu:

Take time to get a flu vaccine.

Have a great week!
