Better Hygiene In Schools - It's A SNAP

Check out the latest additions to the website of the Healthy Schools, Healthy People: It's A SNAP program - www.itsasnap.org.

The School Network for Absenteeism Prevention (SNAP) is a joint project of the SDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to challenge middle schools to help develop programs that make hand hygiene a priority for students, teachers, school health personnel, administrators, and parents.
