Flu season is upon us and fortunately Woodland is taking protective measures against both forms of the flu. The generic flu and swine flu are both very contagious viruses.
Woodland custodians have installed several hand sanitizing stations around the school. These sanitizing stations are preventative measures against the impending flu season. John Serdy, head Woodland Custodian, said, “We have one by the main office, the library, and the nurses office.”
There is also a floating unit that can be positioned around the school as needed. “The mobile one can be used up by the gym during a game, so if people need it they can use it,” Serdy said.
Woodland is one of the last schools in the state to get the dispensers. One set of pumps have been installed but there is another wave to go.
Soap and water are promoted as being the best deterrents of the flu. You can also use hand sanitizers if you have no access to soap and water.
“We use Simonize in our dispensers because it is a water based solution,” said Serdy. Alcohol based solutions evaporate more quickly than water based solutions. “I work with my hands all day so I always have cracks in my hand, and I hate alcohol based sanitizers because it always stings,” stated Serdy.
stay home if you are sick!
i agree with girl.
lol genua who is the girl? and eventually were gonna get closed down for a couple days if more and more ppl keep gettin sick
word.
Too many people are out and there are cases of the swine flu and regular flu in the region. We need to close down for a few days and deep clean this school.
I can’t wait until the school gets closed down. I agree with girl, stay home if you’re sick or you’re going to get me sick.
Literally, every time I walk past that hand sanitizer dispenser by the library, i use it. It smells so good!! and YES STOP COMING TO SCHOOL IF YOU ARE SICK
ya i was out for like a whole week until i was better.. and then i come to school and theres people walking around looking terrily sik.. i also agree with girl. if your sick just stay home and dont come back until youre better. we should be shut down for a few days too.. this school needs to get cleaned before we come back.. hopfully chritsmas break itll get cleaned
i agree. we need to quarntine this school!
The school won’t be closed unless the total students present at school are under 75%. It would be a good idea on a weekend for the janitors to do a major cleaning for the school, but to close when there are plenty of people healthy wouldn’t be too smart. If you are sick, the obvious thing to do is stay home, but parents like to think that their child will fail a class if they miss one day, so they send their children in anyways. This is irresponsible and is causing more harm than good, but there isn’t much us students can do except go to the nurse so she can dismiss you, which parents -in my experience- get mad about. For us students, it’s a lose-lose situation.
yay purell
i dont want the school 2 be shut down cause then there is a possibility of losing our spring break but sick people should stay home
ya we do. and ya i use it all the time too. theres a few around and if i see them ill use them. i really dont wanna get sick. and you can just tell by looking at people. use the hand sanitizers whenever you can!
