Particularly when I was teaching 1st grade, whenever a child went home sick or was out sick, I took the Lysol wipes and wiped down their desk and chair. If it was obvious something was going around, I would spray their desks after they all went home for the day. The custodian told me that was against school board policy but he wouldn't tell anyone I was doing it since I was basically doing his job for him. In his defense, they had a pretty full load as it was and wouldn't have had the time to wipe down 1200 desks everynight.
DGma ~ You keep on hugging those little angels and then use hand-sanitizer afterwards.
Sometimes, that's the only hug some of these kids get.
