Lysol Continues ‘Here for Healthy Schools’ Initiative for Back-To-School

Lysol, a Reckitt brand, is continuing its “Here for Healthy Schools” initiative for the sixth consecutive year by donating Lysol science kits to Title I schools.

Since 2019, Lysol’s Here for Healthy Schools mission has been to help curb the spread of illness-causing germs in classrooms nationwide and promote a clean environment in school and at home using Lysol disinfecting wipes and Lysol disinfectant spray.

Eliminating “Germs in the Classroom”

The Lysol minilabs science kits were created in partnership with kids’ co-design lab The Giant Room using firsthand insights and learnings from teachers, students and Lysol scientists. The limited-time offering kits include bespoke educational materials, lesson plans and activities for teachers to use for the upcoming 2024 – 2025 school year. Each of the three kits will feature a dedicated theme, such as “Germs in the Classroom.”

“Lysol remains steadfast in our mission to cultivate a clean environment for consumers and their families, whether in the classroom or at home,” said Benoit Veryser, vice president of US marketing for Lysol at Reckitt. “We’ve taken our expertise in science and germ education, paired with The Giant Room’s dedication to creativity, to introduce the Lysol Minilabs Science Kits, equipping teachers with educational tools and resources to help reduce the spread of illness-causing germs and help their students thrive with hands-on learning all year long.”

When used as directed, Lysol disinfecting wipes and Lysol disinfectant spray kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, including cold and flu and the covid, and can be used on many household and classroom surfaces like desktops, door handles and countertops.

Starting today, eligible teachers at Title I schools can go here www.thegiantroom.com/lysolminilabs to complete a form to request a Lysol Minilabs Science Kit for their classroom.

Those who are selected will receive the first of three kits starting in September, while supplies last. Each kit will include printed and hands-on materials for up to 30 students, along with lesson plans.
