Dear David:

The emphasis on tidyness & cleanliness needs II be constantly reinforced with today's students. They cannot pawn off the cleaning duties solely to school janitorial staff's & must not just be taught at home, but at school as well II pick up after themselves. Eg.: Straighten out their desks, keep the chalkboards clean, wipe down sweat & residue off of school exercise equipment after usage so others can use it in comfort. Other ideas include trying II keep their locker as clean as possible, washing/sanitizing their hands as much as they can to prevent the spread of germs & colds, as well as placing their trash from the school cafeteria &/or when they have a snack or foodstuff outside into the nearest garbage receptacle rather than leaving it on the ground where it pollutes. The tidier kids are at home & at school, the more organized they will be in their daily lives post educational years.

Influencing Others II Be Environmentally Positive,

Rory
