Please check out this message from Womack Army Medical Center about handwashing and help us keep our bulldogs healthy this school year!

Clean hands keep the mission moving. 🧼As our kids head back to school across Fort Bragg, keeping them healthy is our top priority. Simple, frequent hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is the easiest way to defeat germs and prevent sick days. Let’s help our students start the school year strong! 💪 Wash up, stay safe, and let's keep the community healthy.
