Health staff have observed an increase of *influenza-like-illness* being reported at Folwell. During this time I would encourage extra hand-washing and sanitizing commonly used areas, when possible. Help to remind others the single most preventable way to stop the spread of contamination is to wash your hands. Most importantly, please keep your child home if he/she experiences any influenza-like symptoms.
