What’s that noise? Is that the school bell I hear? Why, yes, I believe it is. Teachers and students around Cincinnati are heading back to the classroom. Kids will be sharing stories of their summer vacation trips, sharing details about their new clothes or haircuts, and sharing their excitement about new teachers and classmates.
However, everything they share is not good. When kids are in prolonged close contact like they are in the classroom, germs and bacteria are shared too. They breathe the same air, touch the same chairs and desks, eat their lunches at the same cafeteria tables and use the same restrooms. Colds and viruses begin making the rounds.
In collaboration with Cincinnati Public Schools, CET taped a series of professional development videos featuring local health officials, health care professionals and public health sanitarians whose goals are to help ensure safe and healthy school environments. In these videos, they share important information that will help administrators, teachers and parents help kids minimize the spread of germs and bacteria while at school.
