Giveaway: Seventh Generation Back-to-School Pack

Is your child picking up more than the ABC´s in school? While you´re packing your child´s backpack with the pencils, notebooks and tools they´ll need for a great school year, don´t forget the supplies they´ll need to stay healthy and germ-free, too!

As a teacher myself, having taught in a school where cleaning supplies were not provided or paid for, I always send in disinfecting cleaners to my kids' teachers.  Sixty percent of teachers surveyed said that they request that parents donate disinfecting wipes to the classroom. Seventh Generation´s disinfecting wipes kill 99.99% of germs* naturally using the active ingredient thyme, a component of thyme oil which is derived from the herb thyme.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these great packs to try out from Seventh Generation and My Blog Spark.  Included is a backpack, recycled paper towels, multi-purpose spray cleaner, two tubs of disinfecting wipes, and a box of tissues.

I am a big fan of Seventh Generation products because they clean well and don't leave any harsh chemicals behind.  I especially love using them in my kitchen on tables and counters. 

WIN ONE FOR YOUR CHILD'S CLASSROOM!

I have taught them to make hand-washing a habit. They also avoid the drinking fountains and take a personal water bottle to keep at their desk instead.

Kasey P said...

My daughter is two, and goes to daycare-I'm hoping by the time she goes to elementary school she'll be immune to eveything. Our daycare is extremely clean, and disinfect daily-however I worry about the ecological impact of the cleaning supplies they are using. I'm make my own cleaning supplies at home, but this pack would be perfect for her school, and help them to try out some more eco friendly options for cleaning. I love Seventh Generation products!!!

I make my son wash his hands or use sanitizer after the bathroom, before eating and when he gets in the car after school. He is in PreK so there are lots of germs. And as you can tell, I am a germaphobe!

I carry a bottle of hand sanitizer in the car so as soon as I pick them up from school they can use it on their hands. Also, you can't stress to them enough how important it is to wash their hands every chance they get at school!

My daugher knows that when we go into ANY restroom we wash our hands if we have been out and about. Even if we don't use the restroom-we wash our hands whenever the opportunity arises! We kill the germies! HA!
