Schools flourish when kids are learning together and when teachers have the right tools to succeed. That’s why this school year, Lysol and Frontline Impact Project –  a social impact platform fueled by the Lubetzky Family Foundation and The KIND Foundation – are teaming up for the Here for Healthy Schools campaign, to donate 665 million disinfectant wipes for teachers across America to help reduce the spread of illness-causing germs and keep kids in school. In addition, many schools across the country will save money by not having to purchase disinfecting wipes, allowing this savings to be reallocated for other school related supplies or resources.

With Lysol’s Here for Healthy Schools, teachers across the country will have the resources to help kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria on classroom surfaces with Lysol and empower students to build healthy habits in the classroom. Since the pandemic caused disruption in American education, it’s imperative for students and teachers to stay healthy and help reduce illness-related absenteeism through a variety of cleaning routines. This includes disinfecting surfaces to help prevent the spread of cold, flu and other viruses on school surfaces. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a healthy school environment can enhance the attendance, concentration and performance of both students and educators.

Lysol and Frontline Impact Project will also join forces with Empatico, an organization that connects classrooms around the globe, to provide activities to enhance connection between classrooms.

“Frontline Impact Project continues to be there for our essential professionals who contribute to the wellbeing and vitality of our local communities,” says Daniel Lubetzky, Frontline Impact Project, Empatico, and KIND founder. “This school year, we are excited to team up with Lysol to make sure that educators have the tools to create a healthy learning environment where kids can create, build connections, and flourish.”

“Kids thrive when they are together and Lysol makes it possible for schools to provide a clean, disinfected environment,” says Benoit Veryser, vice president of U.S. Marketing for Lysol. “Through our Here for Healthy Schools initiative, we are so grateful for partners, including Frontline Impact Project who enable us to easily get our wipes into classrooms across the country.”

Teachers and school districts nationwide can apply to receive their free wipes at frontlineimpact.org/request-wipes today. Schools who receive wipes must be able to accept one full truckload with 40 pallets of wipes to be delivered beginning mid-September through December. Larger school districts may request multiple truckloads.
