How to Make Your Child's School
a Healthier Place.
Start a program that supports proper hand hygiene in the classroom. Here’s how.
1
Meet with your child’s teacher. If a hand hygiene program doesn’t exist, offer to start one.
2
Check the school’s supply list. Does it include a product such as PURELL® Instant Hand Sanitizer? If not, ask the principal to add one.
3
Talk with other parents. Work together to create interest in the program.
4
Involve school personnel. Talk to science, health, phys ed and home ec teachers. Also consult the food service staff, school nurse, teacher’s aides and groups like the PTA.
5
Volunteer in the classroom. It’s the best way to get the program off to a great start.
