Meaningful school experiences, from read-a-thons to field trips create memories for children and strengthen connections between students, parents and caregivers. Yet families often miss out on these special occasions due to unexpected illnesses and their need to use their Paid Time Off when their child is out sick.

To help families stay present for the moments that matter, Lysol, part of the Reckitt family of consumer brands, has launched the HERE for Healthy Schools: Quality Time Off (QTO) Grant in collaboration with National PTA, the nation’s oldest and largest child advocacy association. As an extension of Lysol’s HERE for Healthy Schools initiative, launched in 2019, the grant reinforces the brand’s commitment to helping reduce the spread of illness-causing germs in classrooms nationwide.

Lysol has partnered with Grammy Award-winning singer and PTA advocate Kelly Rowland to share why Lysol Disinfecting Wipes are a must-have for back-to-school lists.

“As a parent, I know firsthand how much it means to be present for the moments that make the school year special – whether that’s seeing my sons’ faces light up at a school play or being there when they need me most,” said Rowland. “That’s why I’m proud to partner with Lysol, because fewer unexpected sick days means more quality time with my family.”

Kids In Need Foundation

From July 13 to July 24, 2026, PTAs at high-need elementary schools serving Grades K-6 can apply for the QTO Grant through National PTA’s website at PTA.org/QTO. Five schools will be selected to receive targeted funding for in-school family activities and in-kind product donations, including Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and Lysol Disinfectant Spray, through Kids In Need Foundation.

For every pack of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes purchased between July 1 through Aug. 31, the brand will donate one to a classroom in need through Kids In Need Foundation. That helps protect up to 60 million students from the spread of illness-causing germs on surfaces in high-need schools.
