Everyone at NC is sick

It seems to be that half of our school is sick with the flu or some kind of cold.  We had off yesterday due to illness.  The problem was that there weren't enough teachers that were able to stay in school and teach.  Without enough teachers there would be no way for classes to be held since there are not enough substitutes to make up for the teachers that are out.  Even the JV basketball game on Wednesday was canceled because half of the team was out sick, luckily the boys varsity team did not fall victim to the sickness therefore the game was still on.  I think that one day off was great for the students and teachers that were sick to have a extra day of rest.  Just being able to get the extra sleep and relax all day helps getting rid of a bad cold.  Luckily myself, I have not fallen to what the students call the NCplague.  I have a little sniffle but luckily that is all.  There's not much you can do to stay healthy when more than half of your school is sick but try your best to wash your hands plenty of times or use the hand sanitizer machines that are placed around the school.  So remember to wash your hands real good, don't touch any door knobs, stay away from people coughing, and drink your orange juice to keep you away from the sniffles.
