I've just received news of an exciting new schools initiative
from e-Bug.
On the 15th October
2012, Global Handwashing Day, schools across the country will be taking
part in a simultaneous hand hygiene lesson in an attempt to break a Guinness
World Record! We would like as many teachers to be involved in the event as
possible, and STEM ambassadors can take part in the day by acting as witnesses
or stewards for a school attempting the record. 
We would be very grateful if the
STEM ambassadors could assist us in spreading the word about the event to
teachers that they work with. Additionally, do you send out a schools
newsletter that we could contribute to, or perhaps you could upload the details
in the attached newsletter to your website for teachers to view?
I have attached the newsletter
with more information for teachers, and the link for teachers to register their
school for an information pack and consent form is:
Any queries about the event and
how STEM ambassadors can get involved can be directed to e-bug@hpa.org.uk
