 CRESENCIO S. LAGO NHS CELEBRATES
NATIONAL HANDWASHING DAY!

“Prevention is better than cure”. And one of the best ways to prevent
any diseases and illnesses is thru HANDWASHING.

The Department of Education, Department of Social Welfare and

Development, and the Department of Health lead the celebration on annual
National Hand washing Day. Thus, last October 16, 2013, one of the
schools in Surigao del Sur Division which is the Cresencio S. Lago National
High School celebrate it with the theme “The Power is in Your Hands”.
Through the good leadership of Madam Adela C. Fazon, Principal I and
with her very supportive subordinates they conducted a short program
about the celebration.

First, the teachers conducted lectures to the students about hand

washing fast facts including also the other best practices to prevent illnesses
just like daily tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste and bi-annual
deworming that the students should take into account to have a healthy life
style. During that time the students were very attentive listening to the
speakers. Others were amazed about what they heard especially to this
point “it’s not the kind of soap that counts but it’s the friction caused by
rubbing your hands that kills the bacteria”. Moreover, they realized how
important is hand washing to their lives. Then afterwards, all of them do
the hand washing while singing the happy birthday song twice as what most
of the nutritionists advised. The teachers see to it also that everybody is
cooperating and doing the hand washing as their performance output that
every student should always give importance also.

The said activity conducted successfully thru the collaborative effort of

the teachers and students. With the simple hand washing it has a big
impact already to their health status because it’s one of the best preventive
measures against illnesses. So, by now let hand washing be a routine for
you especially before eating something and anything.
