Let's all put our hands together..and scrub

The CDC, the WHO and a who's who of health organizations all say the same thing: WASH YOUR HANDS.  The H1N1 forecast is scary. 90,000 thousand Americans could die. 300,000 so sick they have to be hospitalized. The Lewisville ISD is taking a unique approach to fighting the spread of H1N1 and the seasonal flu. A school nurse simply teaches kids how to wash their hands. She applies some glow-in-the dark pretend germs and shakes hands with everyone. The the lights go out and the kids hands glow in the dark. The nurse then teaches them how to sneeze and cough into their sleeve. It may sound simple, but teachers and school nurses are on the front lines. The nurse will teach the class three times while teachers make sure the kids wash their hands as many as ten times a day. It's happening at every LISD campus, from pre-k to the senior class. Let's all put our hands together, and scrub.
