Superintendent Gary VanDeaver says the week off appears to have helped everyone get well. Attendance had been at an all time low. Now, attendance is at 92%. At Crestview Elementary, the old fashioned hand shake is out, at least for now. Students and teachers use the so called "fist bump" as a greeting. The idea is to reduce hand-to-hand contact to prevent the spread of germs. Teachers are also holding regular hand washing demonstrations to keep kids healthy.
