A year ago, I posted a page documenting maladies that we expect at this time of winter, entitled Health Matters. Today, we revisit the topic of community health. I was surprised to learn from Health Services Director Lorraine Roberts that "this is the healthiest winter we can remember" (she was knocking on a wood door frame, suggesting that superstition ranks up there with flu vaccines.) After the epidemic we were led to expect, it turns out that no one tested positive for influenza this year. The sneeze guard over the salad bar is superfluous (a word that really means overflowing, or running over with fluid).
Despite the fact that the nurses in the so-called "Health Center" are sniffling, other signs of community health are evident, like--for instance--Adam, here, who contributed mightly to JV basketball's big win over Brewster yesterday.
I bet Drew (left) felt pretty good tickling the twine for the go-ahead goal against Groton School yesterday, but not much better than I did at that moment.
