Remember back in August when I shared my Safer Wipes sheet with you?
Well, I also shared it with my daughter’s teacher…and she shared it with the principal…and less than six months later, the district banned wipes from being used in the classroom.
I don’t know that my little Safer Wipes sheet actually impacted this change.
But what I do know is that now…
Fewer kids are exposed to allergens
Fewer kids are exposed to chemicals that can cause asthma
And fewer kids are exposed to “fragrance”, the loophole that can hide over 4,000 chemicals within that one term.
I’m a rule follower to my core (first born child, of course). As you can imagine balking the supply list and not buying EXACTLY what was on it was hard for me. I don’t like causing a scene or being different from the pack.
But I’m getting over that. Real change comes from pushing outside of our comfort zone. We need to stand up for what we know is right.
Thank you to the teachers and administrators who stand up for our kids every day!
