The illnesses caused as many as 310 students to be absent at one school. Tuesday was the epitome of it all." said Becky Talbot, attendance secretary at Kearns Jr. High School, 4040 W. 5305 South. "Over 300 students were sick, that's over 25 percent of the student body." Typically, the cause ol the absenteeism is coughs, aches, runny nose and a fever Pneumonia and strep throat have also forced many students to stay home. Ms Talbot added Some students come to school feel ing fine, but check out before the day is through. "Normally, 10 or 15 kids will leave school during the day," Ms. Talbot said.

Ms. Eklund did say the one mistake most people make, is they do not stay home when they are not feeling well. "I hear a lot of mothers tell me that their children weren't feeling well, but they sent them to school anyway. "Even if it's the junior prom, don't go out if you're feeling sick," she said.
