Germ Busters! That is the name Aggie Rogers and Shea Ann DeJarnette are going by these days. At least in the schools as they come in to teach Glo-Germ. This week we hit Littlefield Elementary's six, fifth grade classrooms. The Hornet's as they are called were already feeling the sting from illnesses this year about 75% of the students reported that illness had kept them out of school for one day this year. The students were all very receptive to our Glo-Germ program and grossed out by the glowing germs on their hands. Some who thought their hands were clean left with horrified looks on their faces as they saw the germs glow under the black light. However after a quick lesson they headed straight to the bathroom where they washed their hands with soap and water for 20-30 seconds. When they got back and placed their hands under the light...the germs (for the most part) were gone. A few had to rewash, but their classmates told on them and said they did not wash their hands correctly.
Now this army of 150 youth are ready to head out and help teach others how to wash their hands correctly. They said they will teach other students at the school, and even family members including mom and dad. They realize the importance of washing their hands correctly and not spreading germs, because staying healthy and in school is important.
