The Scrub Club® wants to know if your class has what it takes to win the Clean Hands Game.
To encourage proper and consistent handwashing, the Scrub Club's Soaper-Heroes have come together to help your students wash up and ultimately prevent sick days as they search for America’s Cleanest Hands.
Did you know that each year more than 164 million school days are lost due to illness? The good news is that this number could be greatly reduced with proper handwashing.
That's why NSF International, an independent, not-for-profit organization, created the Scrub Club®, a free and fun, interactive Web site (www.scrubclub.org) that teaches children the six steps of handwashing.
To participate in the Clean Hands Game, simply click here. All entries must be submitted or post marked by November 15th, 2008.
All participants will receive a Scrub Club® Clean Hands Certificate and be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a gift card for flu prevention supplies for their classrooms.
On the Web site, you will also find a fun, interactive Webisode, and downloadable materials available for use in the classroom including a teacher’s guide, activity sheets, coloring pages, posters and stickers. Many of the Scrub Club® materials are also available in Spanish and French.
For more information contact Kelly Nichols at knichols@nsf.org or 734.827.6850.
Good Luck and Start Washing to Win!
