It's National Handwashing Awareness Week. The CDC encourages the use of hand sanitizer when soap and water is not available. When using hand sanitizer, apply the gel product and rub hands together covering hands and fingers until dry. This should take around 20 seconds.


We love hearing/seeing our students thrive, especially in these unprecedented times. A ROBINSON ELEMENTARY parent shared this on her Instagram account and tagged us. We're so glad she was able to see hard work in action - for student and staff!
