Two cases of H1N1 at private school
Two students from Middletown Christian Schools have been diagnosed with H1N1 flu, said spokesman Roger Brandenburg.
A high school student and elementary school student this week and last, Brandenburg said.
The school is sending information to staff and students on good hygiene, like covering a sneeze with an elbow and washing hands.
Students with flu-like symptoms are also disinfecting their desks at the end of the day.
The school also has a standing policy that students cannot come to school with a fever.

Middletown student play this weekend
Middletown High School students are using their fall play this weekend to tell the true story of a little boy who celebrated life even as he struggled with two illnesses.
“The Yellow Boat” brings the audience into the colorful mind of Benjamin Saar, a boy from Arizona who was born with hemophilia and died at age 8 from AIDS-related complications after contracting the disease through blood transfusions.
“It’s more of a celebration of life than a sad story,” said Gracie Taylor, who portrays Benjamin.
Just an hour and 15 minutes long, the story, written by Benjamin’s father, David Saar, takes the audience from Benjamin’s birth into his time in the hospital, where he drew colors and shapes to share his physical pain.
“It’s colorful. It’s touching. It’s really, really heartwarming,” said senior Chloe Manning, who plays a child psychologist who tries to bring color into the sterile white hospital.
This will be the last play for longtime Middletown teacher Karen Griesinger.
How to go:
Where: Middletown High School Theatre, at 601 N. Breiel Blvd.
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday Oct. 23 and Saturday Oct. 24
Cost: Tickets are $5
