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.

my tip: pray! It's tough to keep kids healthy when they're around so many germs all day.
I voluntarily go into my kids classroom at least once a mth and wipe down all the chairs, desks and door handles with anti-bacterial wipes. I also donate hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays and Kleenex Tissues to my kids teachers.
Great giveaway!!! Hope I win. Thanks.

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.
I'd love to win! My tip: I keep their sugar intake at a minimum to keep their immune systems strong.

I always have hand sanitizer on hand, and have my little one wash her hands very frequently. Would love to share this with her classroom come fall!
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!

I insist that my 3yo use purell all the time! It's faster and easier than making him wash his hands!!

I've tried hard to encourage handwashing - the kids do have the mini bottles of hand sanitizer. I put one of the packaged wipes when they carry a bag lunch.
