Here are some simple steps to follow:<\/p>\n<p>1.    Everyone (staff and students) wash or sanitize your hands upon<br \/>\nentering the facility. You don&#8217;t want to bring in these infections.<\/p>\n<p>2.    Wash your hands when they are dirty and before eating.<\/p>\n<p>3.    Do not cough or sneeze into your hands.<\/p>\n<p>4.    Never touch your T zone. This is the eyes, nose, or mouth to prevent<br \/>\ninfections from entering the human body.<\/p>\n<p>*Calendar*<\/p>\n<p>DECEMBER<\/p>\n<p>1                           Main Street Memories<\/p>\n<p>                            SFMS 7th Annual Craft &#038; Vendor Fair 9am-3pm at<br \/>\nthe OLD MS<\/p>\n<p>3                              6-12 Choirs Dress Rehearsal \u2013 7:55-9:45 a.m.<br \/>\n\u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>                                6-12 Winter Choir Concert \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>                                Student Council Mtg 3:10-4pm<\/p>\n<p>4                              Boys Basketball at Home against New Holstein<\/p>\n<p>*7th grade at ES\/8th grade at MS*<\/p>\n<p>6                              Boys Basketball 7th at Manitowoc Wash\/8th<br \/>\nManitowoc Wash @ Home<\/p>\n<p>10                           6-12 Bands Dress Rehearsal \u2013 7:55-9:45 a.m. \u2013<br \/>\nHS<\/p>\n<p>                                6-12 Bands Concert \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013 HS<\/p>\n<p>11                           Boys Basketball 8th @ Two Rivers\/7th at Home<\/p>\n<p>13                           Boys Basketball 7th &#038; 8th at Sheboygan<br \/>\nFarnsworth<\/p>\n<p>17                           Student Council Mtg 3:10-4pm<\/p>\n<p>18                           Boys Basketball vs. Plymouth<\/p>\n<p>*7th grade at ES\/8th grade at MS*<\/p>\n<p>21                           Preview Concert for 8th Grade students \u2013 8:00<br \/>\na.m. \u2013 MS Aud.<\/p>\n<p>24- Jan. 1             Winter Break<br \/>\nKatie L.
