Handwashing - It is Never Too Late to Learn

Mrs. Rey taught our class the proper way to thoroughly wash our hands.

Mrs. Rey tells us about the common germs found all around us. She showed the class the proper way to thoroughly wash our hands. David and Katelyn try their 'hand' at washing hands. Samples were taken before and after hand washing. We examine the results. Oops! I'd better do a better job of hand washing.

For more information about clean hands, visit:
