Get smart! Make every day count.
"Many
parents cannot take it for granted that schools are the safe havens
their children deserve. I encourage parent groups to use the inspiring
hero stories online at Lessons of the 1937 Texas School Explosion to break the silence about unhealthy conditions at school." -- Ellie Goldberg, M.Ed, www.healthy-kid.info
You
are not alone. There are many school officials, school nurses,
health educators, asthma educators and parents who share your values and
health protection goals.
Join local and national groups to find allies and experienced
advocates especially on annual days, weeks, and months designed to
promote health and safety. These campaigns often provide free lesson
plans, activity ideas and other educational tools and resources online.
Take
advantage of national awareness campaigns for asthma, lung health,
injury and burn prevention, fire safety, lab safety, fitness, high performance
schools, pollution prevention, public health, cancer prevention, environmental health, chemical clean
outs, health education, wellness, and healthy schools.
