🤲December is Handwashing Awareness Month! 🚿
Washing your hands is easy, and it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. Follow these five steps every time.
1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or an air dryer.
Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to get rid of germs in most situations. If soap and water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Important Message
This message is for Green Bank Elementary/Middle School families. Due to continued heating concerns, Green Bank will not be in school on Tuesday, December 3. Math Field Day students will report to the school to attend the event at the Observatory. Math Field Day families will receive an individual phone call regarding details of the day.
Staff, please check your email and phone for a message from Ms. Jordan.
Our maintenance staff worked late on the situation, but temperatures are not where we want them now.
Good morning! We wanted to be sure you know that we are still three hours delayed today. Again, we are on a delay and not closed for Monday, December 2—we understand that a television station misreported. Sorry for the confusion. We will see you soon!
All Pocahontas County Schools will be on a three-hour delay due to weather on Monday, December 2, 2024. Please be careful.
Happy Thanksgiving!
