Well, what great news to post! I work at the first and only school in the Salt Lake Valley that has closed because of the swine flu!!! It was so funny! We had a big meeting after school and it was determined that Redwood Elementary would be closed from tomorrow until May 19th, for two full weeks. What is so cool is that the kids do not need to make up those days and all contract staff will continue to be paid. There has been one confirmed case and it maybe that there are a couple others. We did have a preschooler throwing up and quite sick so we sent them home today. That made us nervous. Since I have another school I will not be able to take a full two weeks off, but I might go in late on the days that I was supposed to be at Redwood. Anyway, it is funny! I have included a picture of what not to do with a pig, although that is not how the kids caught the flu.

Oh my goodness. I didn't even know there were any confirmed cases in Utah. (Shows how much I know, LOL) That is crazy that they are giving the kids 2 weeks off. Those poor parents... At least you will have a little more time at home.
I can't believe what good lucky that is. Not for the kids that have swine flu of course, but for you! What are the odds- so nice to have two week half way off. Enjoy getting some rest and taking a break from .....well I won't name any names but you know the hard kiddos!
just kidding, I heard this was very short lived.. too bad
