FACULTY AND STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
FHS Staff Book Club - Upcoming Book Discussions
3/27 @ 2:30pm in the Closed Classroom - Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
4/24 @ 2:30pm 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!
