October is National Bullying Awareness Month. This is a timely
reminder for parents, teachers, and students to take action to foster
safe and supportive environments. In the schools, students and
teachers are talking about spreading kindness. Please take some time
to talk with your child about the effects of bullying. If you have any
questions or concerns, please let the teacher know.

With October officially marking the start of flu season I thought now would be a great time to review some tips for staying healthy this flu season!
One of the best ways you can be proactive against getting the flu is by getting a flu shot each year if you are able. The flu shot helps your body build immunity to the current strain of influenza “the flu”, which can prevent you from getting sick. If you do still get sick, the duration and intensity of the illness are often diminished if you are vaccinated.
Another great tip is to wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer often. Frequent hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of germs that can make you sick. As a rule, you should always wash your hands after using the restroom, before eating or drinking, and when your hands are visibly soiled. It is also important to regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as door knobs, faucets, bathrooms, and food prep areas.
To help prevent the spread of illness you should avoid being around others who are sick whenever possible. If you become sick it’s important to stay home until you are feeling better to prevent spreading the illness to others. Taking time to rest and taking in plenty of fluids can help you recover sooner too! Popsicles, broth-based soups, and warm drinks can be great ways to get in extra fluids when you aren’t feeling well. It is also a good practice to cover your nose and mouth with a tissue if you cough or sneeze, then follow up with a hand sanitizer to help minimize spreading germs to others.
Finally, it is important to take care of yourself. It is often underestimated how important simple habits such as getting good quality sleep, eating well, staying hydrated, managing stressors, and staying physically active are for good health. When we take care of ourselves it helps our immune system stay healthy, so it can do its job of keeping us from getting sick.

A little about myself - my name is JR Roesner and this is my 4th season coaching the Junior
High wrestling team. I have been involved in wrestling for many years and I coached the youth
program at Southridge for 8 years. I have a love of wrestling and want to see Forest Park’s
program grow. I live just outside Ferdinand with my wife Charlotte and my 2 sons Clayton and
Beau.
