Before and after you eat
After using the bathroom
After sneezing, blowing your nose
or coughing
After sharing any school supplies
The best way to stay healthy and stay in school is to
WASH YOUR HANDS!
Wash with warm water and soap—rub and scrub
your hands at least 20 seconds !
Protect yourself and your classmates!

Teachers:
Start the New Year off with a healthy classroom!
Encourage students to make a real effort to wash their hands more often! Encourage them to “Sink Your Germs!”
Hang up the enclosed poster and ask students hang cut-outs of their “clean” hands on the wall to show just how many clean hands they will have in the classroom when everyone washes their hands! And the result may be healthier classmates and less absences!
And, let students know that washing hands with soap and warm water is the best method—hand sanitizers are good when used with hand washing, or where there is not an alternative to soap and water.

Wash Your Hands Often
After you go to the bathroom. If you touch a cut or sore. And always before you touch food. Also, wash your hands after you touch raw meat, poultry or fish. They may carry harmful germs too.
Wash Your Hands With Soap and Warm Water for 20 Seconds. The suds scrub dirt and germs away.
Don't Leave Anything Out. Wash your hands front and back and between the fingers. Soap up your wrists too. And don't forget your fingernails. A good nail brush does the best job there.
Rinse Well In Warm Water. Those pesky germs will go down the drain!
