As students across the country head back to school after the worst flu season in
a decade, Lysol® has partnered with the  National Education Association (NEA) and National Parent Teacher Association  (PTA), with health messages from the CDC, to launch the Healthy Habits Program -  a dedicated effort to reinforce the importance of healthy habits at school and  at home.

Plan An Event for your School
National PTA has teamed up with Kindle to offer the PTA Family Reading
Experience, Powered by Kindle—a set of free activities in English and
Spanish that PTAs can use to organize events, engage the entire family and focus on improving reading skills between kindergarten and fifth grade. At these
events, families visit stations that highlight all of the literacy
domains—phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and
vocabulary—using both physical books and e-books.
