Aylesworth Students Learn the Basics of Handwashing

aylesworth-handwashing Kindergarten and First Grade students at Aylesworth Elementary participate in an annual interactive hand washing program. Students are able to visualize the appearance of “germs” and review basic steps to help prevent the spread of illness.

“Handouts, stickers, singing and return demonstration of proper hand washing techniques are all used to teach our students the importance of hand washing.” explained Kim Lubeck, RN. “We discuss types of germs, how they are spread, how they enter our bodies and the times that are most important to wash our hands.”
