Seventh Grader Dies of Flu

A Delta school shuts down as a precaution after a student dies of the flu.
School officials say seventh-grader Cheyenne Hicks, a student at Washington School in Greenville, died of flu and flu-pneumonia. The school is closed until Wednesday. Acting on the recommendation of an infectious disease specialist, the school dismissed students at 11 o’clock today.
Headmaster Rodney Brown released the following statement: “The safety and well-being of our students is our utmost priority” and that they “are praying for the physical and spiritual healing of families.”
Several upcoming events are being rescheduled, including today’s baseball game versus Heritage Academy and tomorrow’s soccer championship.
