Clorox Canisters for Classrooms: Tuesday #gno Twitter Party

by Mom It Forward on September 14th, 2013 | 23 Comments »

The leaves have begun to switch from green to red and orange as the autumn season says goodbye to shorts and hello to sweaters. School days are filled with reading, writing, and everyone’s favorite – recess.

There are valuable learning experiences and social interactions, like multiplication tests and kickball, which kids miss out on when they are sick. Clorox is teaming up with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation for Canisters for Classrooms. Their goal? To create a healthier learning environment for your kindergartners, high school seniors and every student in between.

Here are some simple tips that parents, students and teachers can follow for a healthier school year:

Get your family vaccinated against the flu
Teach your students about proper hand washing
Provide your child with a delicious & nutritious breakfast to start their school day
Make sure your kids know to cough into their elbows instead of their hands
Keep kids home from school when they are sick, if possible
Disinfect germ hot spots to help stop the spread of cold and flu viruses at home and classroom

You can also give back and help stock teacher supply closets by taking the Canisters for Classrooms pledge and receiving a $1 off coupon for Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes. Clorox will match your pledge by donating a free canister of Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes₁ to a school in need and $1 to support the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools program (up to $50,000 and 50,000 pledges).
