The Flu Hits Hills West

In the wintertime it’s not uncommon to get the flu and for attendance to drop, but with the national flu epidemic hitting West earlier this month, attendance has hit an all time low.

Flus are infamous for being contagious, especially in crowded, contained areas such as High School West. Germs can easily spread from students to teachers through the passing of papers and other exchanges of contact. Many precautions should be taken by both students and teachers to prevent the flu from spreading around West.
