School Health Room
If a student is badly hurt, we will call an ambulance at once. Please do not run in the health room, and please do not open the silver box by yourself.
Dear Ben,
I am sorry that I could not go to the club meeting last night. I was ill and stayed at home all day.
My mother took me to see a doctor in the morning. He said it was only a cold. There is no quick cure for a cold, so I must sleep more and drink warm water. He also gave me some medicine.
I feel much better now. Can you tell me what our club will do next week?
Your friend,
Leo
Many students do not like getting a shot. They think it will hurt for a long time. In fact, the pain is over very quickly. A shot can stop some illnesses before they start.
Doctors say three simple things can help you. First, look at the sky or the wall, not at your arm. Second, take a deep breath. Third, talk to the nurse about school or your favorite game.
A shot takes only a few seconds. Be brave, and it will be easy.
Our school health room kept a record for one month.

Each student is counted only once. Students with a high fever went home or to a hospital.
