Wash
Your Hands
Several  times a day
Every
Day
Wash hands with warm soapy water before eating, after using the bathroom, after handling garbage, when they are dirty, and after sneezing, coughing, blowing nose, or wiggling teeth!  Wash for 15-20 seconds.  Help keep your school friends and teachers healthy!
        Use Purell              
When hands are clean
After touching a lot of people and objects      
Purell removes germs off of hands.  It dries quickly and is safe to use!  Purell is not meant to be used to wash dirty hands or after using the bathroom.  It's best to use soap and water in those circumstances.
