FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PR Log (Press Release)Jan 19, 2009 – Lisbon, Iowa- B4 Brands and School Health Corporation announced today the winners of their jointly sponsored, nationwide poster contest called Be Wise…Sanitize.  The Be Wise…Sanitize poster contest capped off a combined effort to instruct and encourage proper hand hygiene in school age children across the country. Over seventy schools participated and over 2,800 poster entries were received from students from Kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Participating schools were asked to teach students about proper hand hygiene and the use of hand sanitizers in order to minimize the spread of illnesses.  Students were then asked to design a poster illustrating proper hand hygiene and when it should be performed.  “I taught proper handwashing techniques such as when to wash hands and the importance of hand washing to all of our elementary students using the activities on the B4 School CD.  After the activities, I had students draw what they learned.  This was a great teaching experience that engaged the students in being healthy as well as preventing illnesses,” said Diana Price from Nancy Smith Elementary School in Albany, Texas.

Entries were divided into school grade divisions of K-5, 6-8, and 9-12 with one winner from each division. Posters were judged on their ability to illustrate proper hand hygiene, neatness and creativity.  For participating, each school received a package of Avant Instant Hand Sanitizer products and the three schools with winning entries received $500 in free Avant Instant Hand Sanitizer products.  Individual student winners each received a $25 VISA gift card.

The K-5th grade winner was Lexi, a 5th grade student representing Tritt Elementary School in Marietta, Georgia.  A 6th grader named Ashby at Trimble Co. Middle School in Bedford, Kentucky, won in the 6-8th grade division. The 9-12th grade division winner was Monoko, a senior, at Dublin Coffman High School in Dublin, Ohio.  These winners will receive their awards during a personal visit from their School Health Corporation representative later this month.  

Winning posters, along with notable entries in each division, can be viewed online at: www.b4brands.com/postercontest.htm
