 * LEAD: You probably think about how many germs there really are on children's hands but do you think of them eating with all that on their hands or what those germs can do to the food they eat this is how kids at some schools are. Kids at some schools aren’t required to wash their hands before they eat. After recess. Before they go to lunch. They should be, we can change this by using hand sanitizer before lunch. Schools should be required to make their students to wash their hands before they eat lunch. Kids need to wash their hands because it’s disgusting to the kids, schools won’t have as many absences, and it’s super easy plus really cheap. **


 * Paragraphs: **


 * SICK KIDS: Obviously the biggest reason that kids miss school is that their sick the best way to keep from getting sick is washing your hands. Researchers found that people who normally clean their hands have 26% less missed school days also 22% fewer illnesses than others who didn’t wash their hands. **


 * HANDS DISGUSTING:After kids come in from recess their hands are filthy. Also making kids eat with these kinds of hands is like putting dirt in their food. Without having to wash their hands the kids won’t want to eat the food and we can easily change it. By having schools provide hand sanitizer the kids can wash their hands before they eat. **


 * EASY and CHEAP:This problem is so simple to fix, all we have to do is put hand sanitizer next to the wherever the kids enter the lunchroom. The hand sanitizer is cheap and could be donated to schools all over the district. Contrary to the belief that hand sanitizers are highly expensive you can actually go to a local store and get it 10 oz. for only $1.98 I think thats pretty cheap to be able to keep kid’s hands clean. **


 * Conclusion Ideas:Now that you understand the importance of kids having hand sanitizer before lunch, hopefully you will be able to take some action and make it happen. **


 * If it makes no sense to not have clean hands before __you__ eat then why should kids have to at school. I think they should you should want them to also. If kids had to clean their hands before lunch there wouldn't be as many sick kids,with clen, (more) Hopefully next time kids go in to lunch at their school they will have to put on some hand sanitizer before the sit down and begin to eat. **
