FAMILY WEEKEND AMBASSADOR RECEPTION
The Parent Ambassador Program had a nice gathering during Fall Family Weekend, and we thank all the families who met in the Living Room to learn about ways they can volunteer at the School.  Parent Program for the Annual Fund   volunteers help us by encouraging current parents to join them in supporting the School by making a gift to the Annual Fund for MHS by June 30 each academic year. Admissions department volunteers speak with prospective parents about their experience at Miss Hall's and also sit on panel discussions at Open House events.

Important Reminder from the Health Center
Flu season is around the corner! Protect yourself and your family this season with an annual flu vaccine for everyone in your family who is 6 months and older. While the timing of flu season is unpredictable, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and last as late as May. CDC recommends that people get vaccinated by the end of October, if possible. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against influenza virus infection.  Please contact your daughter's primary care practitioner to schedule an appointment for her to receive the annual flu vaccine while she is home for November break.

The CDC's  Guide for Parents  provides detailed information on the flu and how to keep you and your family healthy during flu season.
