To Do Well, Students Have To Be Well.

Germ shedding starts up to three days before someone feels sick, putting others at risk without even knowing it

Water fountain handles are among the top five “germiest” touch points in a school setting

Studies show that only 58% of female and 48% of male middle and high school students wash their hands after using the bathroom

Highest bacteria counts per square inch are found on surfaces commonly used by teachers

Viruses can live from 24 to 48 hours on surfaces

Door handles are one of the most touched surfaces in schools, and a key point of germ transmission

The average desk has 400 times more bacteria on it than the average toilet seat

Fingers carrying a flu virus can contaminate up to seven clean surfaces

Schools have their own unique “hot spots” that typically harbor the most germs. The Healthy Schools Project* educates and encourages students to

Wash, Wipe and Sanitize to help reduce the risk of transmission – especially in germ hot spots.

Symptoms are bad and so are the side effects: Student performance suffers. Student absences are linked to lower achievement and higher school dropout rates. Even when ill students are physically present, they often perform poorly.

Parents’ work is affected. In the U.S., caring for a sick child results in 126 million lost workdays and $14.5 billion in lost productivity annually.

Budgets are affected, too. Schools spend over $2 billion on substitute teacher pay each year. Studies show that teacher absenteeism also affects student achievement.

About 25% of Americans go to school or college every day. Unfortunately, their germs go right along with them. Colds and flu are a major problem for educational facilities, with the common cold resulting in 189 million school days lost each year–and influenza causing nearly 38 million absences a year.

Absenteeism starts with presenteeism– coming to school sick. When ill students touch a doorknob, keyboard, desk or other surface, they leave germs that can live up to 48 hours. Other students and teachers pick up those germs, and the cycle continues.

K-5

K-5 lesson plans make learning about good hygiene fun for students and easy for teachers.

Posters, clings, Student Care Packs and other materials reinforce the “good hygiene habits” message.

This new program from KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* delivers effective solutions designed to break the cycle of illness at school. It’s an easy way to motivate students, teachers and staff to practice good hand hygiene–and be aware of the germs around them.

The Healthy Schools Project* goes beyond the restroom to provide sustainable, hygienic product solutions for classrooms, cafeterias, common areas–all the places students take germs.

The result can be reduced absenteeism and a healthier environment for all of your students and staff.

Programs for every education levelThe Healthy Schools Project* starts with the premise that good hygiene habits should begin early. That’s why the program addresses students at every level – starting in kindergarten and continuing through college. Offerings include:

• Germ“hotspot”identification and audits to customize an action plan for each school

• In-classroomsolutionsforK-5, including lesson plans customized by grade

• Washroom&commonareasolutions: towels, tissues, soap, sanitizer and surface wipes

• Posters,stickersandothercommunications that help educate students on things they can do to make their school healthier

• StudentCarePacks for special events

• Convenientcaddies for offices and lounges, putting germ-fighting products close at hand

Simple to implement with unique materials and product solutions designed for each education level–K-5, middle school, high school and university.

Easy and engaging for students because the program is based on a simple protocol of Wash, Wipe and Sanitize, reinforced by on-site communications materials.

Easy to fund with most or all of its implementation covered by existing facility supply funds.

Your facilities budget = a wellness programUntil now, your facilities budget just gave you supplies. Now it can be leveraged to maximize teacher and student attendance and engage-ment. The Healthy Schools Project* is the cost effective way to create healthier, more productive schools where students do well– because they are well. From lesson plans to on-site materials, this program gets students engaged in making their school a healthier place.

How to get started KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* is taking the lead in helping to transform schools with high illness-related absenteeism into healthy learning environments where students can achieve their full potential.

In 1907, a Philadelphia teacher blamed a severe outbreak of colds on the fact that so many students used the same cloth towel. To protect her students from germs, this resourceful teacher cut heavy paper into squares, so each student had an individual towel.

When the Scott Paper Company/ Kimberly-Clark heard about her ingenious solution, the paper towel was born!
