Pinkeye worse germ

Wayne County Public Health nurse Taleah Moosman and Sara Bagley, Health Educator for the Central Utah Health Dept. visited Hanksville Elementary on Thursday, October 25, 2018.
Nurse Taleah discussed germs and illness with the students. “She told us about how the pinkeye germ is the worst.” Says Trea. Our hands touch a lot of different surfaces including our eyes and mouths. “Be sure to rub your fingertips and wash your wrists.” the Nurse reminded the students. She also talked to them about personal hygiene including teeth brushing. Each student received a new toothbrush and a bottle of hand sanitizer, which removes most germs but there are some, which still need to be washed off with soap and water.

Roll the dice! 6 and 4, there’s an exercise for that! Mrs. Bagley instructed the students on the importance of exercise and healthy eating. They exercised as they rolled the dice and found the exercise on the chart. She also instructed them to make healthy eating choices . After discussing the various food choices required for good daily health, each student make choices from a large variety of life like food and put them on their plate.
Good health, hygiene and exercise are important for our lives every day.
