What the heck is “germx”? And most school budgets DO include toilet paper, which works just fine as tissue for nose-blowing. And presumably soap in bathroom sink soap dispensers.
When Sassy was in school the teacher’s had wish lists. They wanted boxes of tissues, waterless hand cleaners, bleach wipes for desks, & items like markers, colored paper & glue sticks etc. I was amazed at the list & sent in what I could. MRSA hit our area & I didn’t mind helping with the hand cleaner & wipes for desks.
Germ X is an antibacterial gel that the kids use before eating or after sneezing. And I think the tissue cuts down on trips to the bathroom, at least that’s the only logic I can figure.
I am glad they stopped asking for brand name items like the scissors for younger kids had to be FISKARS. I went with the cheaper brand, and dared them to say anything about it.
