Dear Parents & Guardians:
!
Working as a team is critical
to student success. Just a few
minutes a day of math facts
practice, sight word practice, or
reading for fluency and
comprehension can help a student
a great deal. We are doing all we
can to help to help your children
achieve at school. Please be
supportive a parent and work with
them a few minutes every day.
Check their backpack or homework
folder. If you have questions about
your child’s progress, call or email
your teacher and set up the Infinite
Campus app in your Smart phone.
Regards,
Mrs. Moore

February is all about the heart….
Heart Health
Not only is February special because of Valentine’s Day, but did you know
that February is American Heart Month and Heart Disease Awareness
Month?
The American Heart Association has many great resources on keeping your heart healthy,
myths and facts about heart disease, children’s health, exercise, diet and mush more. Check
out their website, www.heart.org.
With heart disease striking more women than men each year, and with the symptoms of
heart disease differing from men’s symptoms, the American Heart Association launched
National Wear Red Day eleven years ago to bring attention to women’s cardiovascular
disease. National Wear Red Day is February 7, 2014. Their campaign is called
Go Red for Women and their website is www.goredforwomen.org.
Jump for Heart
We would like to thank everyone that
participated in Jump for heart. With
your help we were able to raise
$1,875.84 for the American Heart
Association. Way to go!!

FLU WI DESPREAD I N ARI ZONA
After a steady increase in flu cases this year, Arizona flu activity hit widespread this week; widespread is
the highest category possible. Influenza has been reported in all 15 counties. Most of the circulating flu is
the 2009 H1N1 virus. Doctor and hospital visits for flu have increased over the last few weeks around the
state.
Influenza is a serious illness with symptoms similar to the common cold. However, the flu comes on
quickly and is more physically draining. For most people, the best care is to stay home, rest, and drink
plenty of fluids. For others, especially those with certain medical conditions, the flu can be more severe.
³Some of the symptoms of the flu are very similar to those of a cold´VDLG'U&DUD&KULVW&KLHI0HGLFDO

breathing or have chest pains, you proEDEO\QHHGWRFKHFNZLWK\RXUGRFWRURUJHWLPPHGLDWHKHOS´
At this time of year, urgent care sites and hospitals are overcrowded with ill people so it is important to call
your doctor first unless you are severely ill. The good news is if you KDYHQ¶W been sick yet, the flu shot can
still offer you protection from flu. Simple, everyday prevention measures, like washing your hands, will
help stop flu and other illnesses.
³Obviously, the best thing you can do to protect yourself and others is to get vaccinated. With our community
reaching widespread status, this means that flu is circulating and even if you get vaccinated today, it will take
2-ZHHNVWREXLOGXSDQWLERGLHV´said Dr. Bob England, director of the Maricopa County Department of
Public Health. ³In the meantime, stay home when you are sick, wash your hands frequently and make sure to
cough or sneeze into your sleeve. Simple, but tried and true public health practices.´
While Arizona typically sees most of its flu cases in February or March, flu is unpredictable and can peak
earlier or later in the season. This year, flu reports started early and have been increasing over the past few
weeks. 824 cases of the 2,424 ZH¶YHKDG this season were reported last week. However, because many
people are not tested for the flu, those figures are just a fraction of the true number of cases.
Arizona is not alone in this uptick of influenza -- 40 other states reported widespread activity last
week. The official Centers for Disease Control and Prevention influenza season begins in October and
carries through the following September.
A list of flu shot providers is available at www.stopthespreadaz.org or by calling Community Information
and Referral at 211 from anywhere in the state. For more information about influenza, go to
www.azdhs.gov/flu or contact your health care provider or local health department.
