Lysol teams up with The GIANT Room to donate
Lysol Minilabs Science Kits to Title I schools
nationwide
PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lysol®,
a Reckitt brand, knows that little hands learn best when they're
hands-on. That's why for year six of the brand's HERE for
Healthy Schools initiative, Lysol is making hands-on
learning accessible by donating Lysol Minilabs
Science Kits to Title I schools.
Since 2019, Lysol's HERE for Healthy Schools mission has been to
help curb the spread of illness-causing germs in classrooms
nationwide and promote a clean environment in school and at home
through the use of Lysol® Disinfecting
Wipes and Lysol® Disinfectant
Spray.
The Lysol Minilabs Science Kits were created in
partnership with kids' co-design lab The GIANT
Room using firsthand insights and learnings from teachers,
students and Lysol scientists. The limited-time offering kits
include bespoke educational materials, lesson plans and activities
for teachers to use for the upcoming 2024 – 2025 school year. *
Each of the three kits will feature a dedicated theme, such as
Germs in the Classroom.
"We believe the best learning experiences are those designed
with students' and educators' points of view in mind. Even better
are those created with children and teachers involved in the design
process," said Dr. Azi Jamalian,
founder of The GIANT Room. "Co-designed with teachers, children,
and their families, Lysol Minilabs Science Kits help students
better understand the 'why' behind healthy hygiene habits and 'how'
they can change their behavior—all through engaging content
children can relate to, hands-on activities and creations,
home-school connections, reflections, and reinforcement."

- Starting today, eligible teachers at Title I schools can visit

"Lysol remains steadfast in our mission to cultivate a clean
environment for consumers and their families, whether in the
classroom or at home," said Benoit
Veryser, Vice President of US Marketing for Lysol at
Reckitt. "We've taken our expertise in science and germ education,
