We daily use the Purell hand sanitizer. The Puffs facial tissues are now coming into play because of the weather and allergies. The students know that whenever they need to blow their noses that tissue and hand sanitizer is readily available. The students also like having access to the hand sanitizer during lunchtime. They know that they always have an opportunity to have clean hands before and after lunch. \r\n\r\nThank you for the supplies of wipes. The students use the Purell wipes to clean their desks, computer keys, and calculators when they feel the need to do so. I use the Lysol wipes to clean their desks daily to prevent \"cold\" germs from spreading and to let the students see that they can expect to have a clean desk daily. They know that they are important to me. Therefore, I want to show them that they are valued by making sure that the setting in which they are learning is neat, clean, and presentable. \r\n\r\nThe wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizer are very much appreciated and used regularly. Each time we use them we are reminded that there are people who value every part of education the way we do and are willing to show it.
