Why does my child get sick after starting school or daycare?
Your child may keep coming home with a runny nose, cough or the newest virus that’s been circulating. Is this normal?
Worry not, as this is very common, especially once the new school year starts.
This is because kids spend a lot of time indoors in close-quarters allowing exposure to new germs and viruses .
You can reduce your child’s risk by teaching hand- washing, covering their cough, choosing healthy foods and getting them vaccinated.

Layers of gun use protection refer to multiple safety steps used together to stop accidents and unauthorized access. These physical and behavioral barriers ensure that a single mistake or failure does not lead to a tragedy.
Physical Storage Layers
• Gun Safes: Heavy steel containers that lock away fi****ms to block access by children or thieves.
• Lock Boxes: Quick-access metal or plastic boxes for handguns that add an initial barrier.
• Trigger or Cable Locks: Mechanical devices placed directly on the gun to stop it from firing.
• Separate Am******on Storage: Keeping bullets locked in a different container away from the unloaded fi***rm.
Stop by Forest County Sheriff’s Office or Forest County Veteran’s Office to pick up a free gun lock.
