It has been such a hard winter. Really bad illnesses going around, as I am sure you know firsthand.
It almost seems like people are "shell shocked" and having difficulty transitioning back to better health after one of the worst winters for illness I have ever seen.
I am thinking about sending out an email to my teachers with a focus on putting the emphasis on wellness rather than illness. For their own benefit as well as for the kids. What are your thoughts? Are you seeing the same issues in your school? (Difficulty accepting that things are improving.)

It's so funny you mention this because I was thinking of possibly crafting a Wellness type article along with the summer med and sports links.

I just put up a Health Q&A board for my students / staff with questions focusing on wellness vs. illness. There is a question box for submissions and I plan to put up next questions every 3 weeks. I will likely always stack the deck with one or two specific questions, though .
