- Stomach flu spikes after Thanksgiving holiday
- December 2, 2011
- Stomach flu has hit Rim Country Middle School (RCMS) and Payson High School (PHS) hard since the Thanksgiving holiday. “We saw quite a few sick ones today,” said Yvette Harpe, vice principal at RCMS. RCMS school officials reported 33 students out because of the stomach flu. At the high school, 25 left for home on Thursday, versus 114 for the whole month of November. School policy dictates if a student has a fever of 100 degrees or is vomiting, someone from home must pick up the student for the day, said Dani Hatch, school nurse for PHS. “There have been more sick kids since the Thanksgiving holiday. Maybe they picked up something while on vacation,” said Hatch.
