NOTES FROM THE NURSES
Welcome to September! As we all prepare for fall and cooler weather there are a few things we would like you to keep in mind.
1. Cold and flu season has started. Cook Children’s shared that they have had the first diagnosed case of the flu this past weekend.
2. Please remind your child not to share food or drinks with any other student- this is another way to help prevent the spread of germs.
3.
St. Andrew Catholic Church will be offering a Community Wellness fair on October 6 from 9am to noon, in the Parish Hall. FREE flu shots, blood pressure screenings and much more.
4. Please refer to the Nurse’s health page on the school website for information regarding when to keep your student home from school. We understand that keeping your child home for minor illnesses may be an inconvenience and they will miss instruction time, but this is the best way to prevent the spreading of germs.
Please

for information regarding the flu.

The Spiritual Life Committee at Saint Andrew Catholic School offers two blessed statues to its families: A statue of Rosa Mystica and an Immaculate Heart of Mary Statue.
Each week (from Wednesday afternoon to the following Wednesday morning) two families will have the opportunity to take these statues home and use them as a source of inspiration, prayer and reflection. The tote bag containing the statue will also have suggested prayers. This special tradition will hopefully be one full of meaning and faith for each of you.
