Ten Tips for a Germ-Free School Year

The school always brings new friends, new teachers, new assignments, and unfortunately some new germs. Follow these tips and you might score a perfect attendance record this year!

1. Wash your hands with soap and water after you sneeze, cough, or use the bathroom. Count to 20 or sing a couple of rounds of Row, Row, and Row Your Boat while you scrub! Use a hand sanitizer if soap and water aren't available.
