Guess what! It's flu season! The wonderful AFS nurse, Heidi, has offered flu shots to all faculty to help keep our staff healthy and protected. Tamara decided to take Heidi up on her offer, and further decided to make it a public event. All the Owls gathered in the hallway outside the nurse's office, and observed. Heidi explained why we get shots, and asked if anyone had gotten a flu shot yet. Some friends said yes, and some expressed fear and/or pain from shots. Tamara showed friends that it's okay to be scared, but it's still important to stay healthy! She braved the dreaded needle, and impressed us with her calm and collected manner. What a trooper!

Today we had our first ever...FIRE DRILL. We carefully discussed what a fire drill is, why we have them, and what we do when they occur. Was a challenge presented by having the first fire drill of the year on a Monday? Yes. When the alarm was sounded, did friends scream? Did the loud noise cause a panic and uproar? Of course not! Our Owls were well prepared, and stayed in control the entire time.

We also ventured to the meadow outside of Lower School today for a picnic and to enjoy the warm day that November has presented. We sat in leaves under a tree, ate lunch, and then collected sticks and climbed on the awesome climbing tree!
Other joyful things:

| We received "Winter King, Summer Queen" in the mail! One of our class favorites! |
