A group of students from Diamond View School have been working hard at a campaign to promote the importance of hand washing within their school and the community.
Among some other efforts in their campaign, they have been performing a comedic skit called “Jeremy Germ and the Germinators” for some of the schools. The skit is about Jeremy Germ who tries to attack students for not washing their hands when the two Germinators save the day by defeating Jeremy with soap and water.
They teach the children how they, too, can fight off germs with those two powerful weapons.
