Students at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School attended a health awareness workshop Nov. 12.
With flu season here, Gen Waszczylo, principal of the school said she felt it was important for her students to be reminded of healthy hygiene practices.
Ashley Laperriere, a public health inspector with the Sudbury and District Health Unit, spoke to the students about avoiding germs as well as the importance of proper handwashing.
As well, Sheryl Sasseville, owner of Sudbury Dental Hygiene, demonstrated the technique for correct toothbrushing.
"We want to instill in the students proper hygiene habits, and are very fortunate to have established community partnerships with experts in this field, willing to share with us their knowledge," Waszczylo said.
At the end of the presentation, all of the students received a goodie bag of personal hygiene products.
