"Schools and handwashing promotion go hand in hand!"

            "Schools Across the County Promote Handwashing!"

Our national school system is our country's first line of defense against the spread of disease germs!  Let's face it, in order for students to attend school, they must me healthy!  To keep our children healthy, schools across the country are involved in handwashing initiatives from kindergarten all the way up to grade 12. 

                It's Germ Warfare in the Trenches

 Consider this fact:   According to the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools,  22 million school days are missed each year due to the common cold!     This doesn't include days missed from other kinds of germ related illnesses!  So schools are learning to fight back by advocating handwashing campaigns from the youngest students to the oldest.

                 Forces Behind Schools and Handwashing       

One Powerful Force: The CDS or Center for Disease Control encourages schools to have an on-going program that teaches and encourages handwashing. They constantly send news releases across the country like the one below:

  Another Powerful Source That Results in Handwashing

Providence , R.I. - More than 20,000 Rhode Island students who missed classes last week because of a health scare returned to school Monday to a basic lesson they've heard before: Keep your hands clean.

Schools in Warwick, West Warwick and Coventry had been closed Thursday and Friday while health officials investigated several cases of encephalitis and meningitis.

To help prevent the spread of illness, the state doled out almost 10,000 gallons of hand sanitizer, said Elliot Kreiger, a Department of Education spokesman.

West Warwick Senior High principal Wayne Talbot said workers at his school spent the better part of Sunday installing hand-sanitizing stations in each classroom

• "The availability of hand sanitizer has cut down on the spread of colds at Transfiguration School in West Hazleton, Pennsylvania, according to principal Sherry Ambrose."

• "In Arlington, Virginia, schools used to rely on parents to supply sanitizer gel, but now the district has installed hand-sanitizer dispensers in all classrooms and made large supplies of the gel available. "Now when children are coming in from recess or going to lunch without time for a restroom break, they get a squirt of the gel," said Lolli Haws, principal at Arlington's Oakridge Elementary School"
