School & Workplace Notice Board

Clean Hands Keep Everyone Healthy

Sample Writing

Hello everyone,

It is important to keep our community safe from virus infections and illness. Washing hands with clean water and soap is one of the easiest ways to stop germs from growing.

Always wash your hands before eating lunch and after coming inside from outside activities.

When washing, first lather with soap for twenty seconds until you see plenty of foam. Next, make sure to scrub your thumbs and clean under every fingernail to remove hidden dirt.

It is easy for germs to spread when we forget these simple steps. It is better to clean your hands often than to get sick. It is not hard to keep our school healthy together!

Thank you,
The Hygiene Team
