A tree down on Hwy. 176 this morning near Saluda. Witnessed some passersby take out chainsaws from their vehicles and assist firefighters with removal to clear the road.
We're partnering w/the health department on school-based flu vaccine clinics, as we've done since 2015. This year just looks a bit different! 🏥
Our #HCPSfamily can save the dates for these drive-thru flu clinics! No appointment needed.

School will look and feel a little different when students return to campus. 🏫 Families can help prepare students for these changes to their learning environments by talking about them before their child's first day back!
#HealthySchoolsStartWithYou#SafeHendo#HCPSfamily
As we gear up to welcome our students back on campus, please remember that healthy schools start with you! Health officials remind the #HCPSfamily to encourage healthy habits at home, like practicing the 3Ws/3Ms.

It’s clear that our numbers will keep us from moving ahead into the next phase of easing restrictions. So today, I'm announcing that North Carolina will pause and continue our Safer At Home Phase 2 for another three weeks.
