In 2013, SCA discovered that 82% of American parents with children aged 2-6 believed that better hand hygiene at their child’s pre-school, elementary school or day-care could reduce the occurrence of family sick days. Four years later, we are still committed to creating hand washing awareness throughout America, one student at a time.

On Friday, March 24th, Diane Engler of SCA and her PR team visited Valley Forge Elementary School in Wayne, PA, to stop the spread of germs amongst their four first grade classes. Engler taught the children healthy hand washing habits by reviewing some helpful strategies and engaging them in hand washing activities.
