Art of Washing Hands Provides Continued Wellness Education for Students
Georgia-Pacific Professional Expands National School Initiative to Assist in Teaching Proper Hand Hygiene.
Atlanta, GA, October 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Georgia-Pacific Professional is proud to announce an expansion to its Art of Washing Hands website, an online resource that offers interactive hand washing and hygiene information to parents, daycare providers, elementary school teachers, school nurses and students. The website now offers additional information regarding proper hand washing techniques, as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The website is part of Georgia-Pacific Professional’s ongoing wellness initiative to educate citizens about the importance of washing hands, especially when away from home.
Included on the site are Germ-Jitsu themed classroom activities, coloring book pages, and hygiene tips available for easy downloading and printing, as needed. The site also features original hand washing songs students can learn to sing while they wash their hands and a family pledge to implement proper hygiene practices at home.
“Georgia-Pacific Professional wants to expand our wellness initiative in time for the new school year because we are committed to helping consumers of all ages stay healthy while away from home,” said Bill Sleeper, president, Georgia-Pacific Professional. “The fact that proper hand washing is one of the simplest ways to prevent the spread of the common cold, flu and other infectious diseases makes us eager to spread wellness in even more fun and interactive ways.”
The Art of Washing Hands website was initially launched in January 2010 and features Georgia-Pacific Professional’s character, Mo™, who embodies the hygienic characteristics of the company’s notable enMotion® Automated Touchless Towel Dispenser and enMotion™ Automated Touchless Soap Dispenser.
The hand washing activities and Germ-Jitsu Mo will appear in an upcoming fall issue of Weekly Reader. Georgia-Pacific Professional’s The Art of Washing Hands project is part of the company’s larger Spread Wellness Campaign – an initiative that works to motivate individuals, businesses and communities across the nation to wash their hands. The campaign features an array of awareness and educational programs for all ages that promote the benefits of increased hygiene.
Teachers, parents, school nurses and students interested in implementing the updated hand washing lessons in their classroom can access free resources at www.TheArtOfWashingHands.com.
