Some things that the student body thinks we could do to protect ourselves is “Get the flu shot”  Junior Krishna Desai says. Senior Taylor Hatley says she has a strong immune system so it doesn’t have a big affect on her that cold season is here. Taking vitamin C is a good thing to be taking and maybe just drinking a glass or two of orange juice will keep you protected from this contagion of a time.

Sarah Lanier says “I don’t hang around a lot of sick people” Mrs. Leech doesn’t enjoy the sick/cold season either he says “use Kleenex and hand sanitizer.” Avery Lawson chimed in and said “use a tissue if you have an issue” Emily Herman also came down with something and says she overcame it by “Taking antibiotics, DayQuil, Nyquil,and taking vitamins.”
