Wow..I know..I just said it. Holidays mean that we travel many miles to get to our destinations. Then we are surrounded by friends, family and tons of little people. We all know those little people are walking germ time bombs. So, with all of that germ-a-phobic talk I have the solution!
Moms, Grandma’s and pretty much anyone on the planet here is my new favorite go to thing in the kitchen!! Lysol wipes! Now I do not go crazy because I really do not want the “germaphobe” label but I do not have time to get sick or nurse anyone this holiday season. So, I use these all the time in the kitchen and bathroom counters.
I am also excited to tell you about Lysol’s new site dedicated to helping schools fight germs and keep students and faculty healthy this flu season. I love their program Mission of Health. This program is designed to teach students and staff about the ways they can stay healthy so in turn they can learn more at school! It is called the Blue Ribbon School Attendance Challenge. According to Lysol, “this program is developed specifically for schools with materials designed to motivate students (and their parents) to strive for better health and improved school attendance. When kids are healthy they can go to school and learn — we all win.” I love this concept and think it is perfect!
Here is the program that LYSOL is encouraging schools to get involved in: Lysol is rewarding schools that demonstrate the best attendance rate and parent participation in the program. $75,000 in total prizes are available. Throughout the school year, students aged K-5 will be taught healthy habits via specially designed lesson plans. There are 3 exciting programs, which all schools can participate in. These include the LYSOL Blue Ribbon School Awards, the LYSOL Hand Washing Song Contest and the LYSOL Healthy Heroes Contest. So, if you are on the PTA or a home room Mom I encourage you to give this information to your school! Just think of how much this will help our schools not only in having healthy, happy people but maybe even win $75,000. That could really help your school during a climate of so many budget shortfalls.
As, if this was not enough to encourage you to get involved I am going to have a contest!
One of my readers will receive a $25 American Express Gift Card to spend…maybe on Lysol cleaning products.
