We are seeing more
and more cases of influenza, pneumonia, respiratory infections, strep
etc. Please do not hesitate to stay home if you are not feeling well and
see a doctor!
Influenza (also known as the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by
flu viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to
death. The flu is different from a cold. The flu usually comes on suddenly.
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
Cough
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue (tiredness)
Some people may have vomiting and
diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
* It's important to note that not
everyone with flu will have a fever.
And most
importantly (see the linked brochure): When can my child go back to school
after having the flu? Keep your child
home from school, day care or camp for at least 24 hours after their fever is
gone. (The fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
A fever is defined as 100°F (37.8°C) or higher.

ATTENTON BASKETBALL PLAYERS – The following
opportunity is available for our students to take advantage of should they want
to: I have attached the flyer for Spring Workouts that will be taking place in
Mt. Vernon starting this Sunday. If any of your kids/parents from your
town have attended one of my workouts before I hope they pass on their
thoughts. The feedback we received from our last time in Mt. Vernon was
great so we are doing these workouts near you so you do not have to drive to
Sioux Falls to participate in something like this. Please let me know if
you have any questions or concerns.
The Blackhawk boys had 2 record-setting performances in
their win over Mitchell Christian on Thursday night. Leading were:
Trey-record 9 3-pointers with 30 pts, 6 reb,4 ast
Trent—season record for assists(breaking brother tucker’s) 11 pts, 7 reb, 11
ast(now 140 on year) , 4 st tater—2 pts,1
reb trevor—7 ast Jared-- 2 pts,
3 reb, 1 st, 1 blk Koby—2 reb Shaun—8 pts, 9 reb, 1 ast, 1
blk Noah—5 pts, 6 reb, 1 st Wyatt—12 pts, 4 reb,
1 ast, 3 blk We shot 27/54 FG for 50% and 6/8 FT
for 75%. Coach Olson’s comments: Trey had an unbelievable
rhythm that first half in making shots(9/10 3’s). The boys did a great
job recognizing he was hot and were making a point to get him the ball. That’s
what is great about this unselfish team: they are so excited when our teammate
has success and realize it is “our” shot that is going in. Mitchell
Christian has a good ballclub that can shoot the ball but I thought we really
did a great job defensively and kept them out of sync the entire night. Our
record now stands at 13-6 with the last regular season game vs Wess. Springs
this Friday.
We have about 10 spots left in each
group. We are really big on competiting, so the more players that attend
the more we can compete. It is also good to compete with kids outside
your school. Please pass this on to any of your athletes that have an
interest in basketball.
Greatly appreciated,
Josh Mueller
