District Nurse Shares Hand Washing Presentation

Berkley School District hired a part-time school nurse for the 2022-23 school year. Rose Guglielmetti, RN, joined the District in September and will work directly in all our buildings with staff and students to support a healthy school and workplace environment.

Nurse Rose has spent the last few weeks visiting classrooms demonstrating proper hand washing with an engaging experiment. She uses Glo Germ Gel, which simulates the presence of real germs. Glo Germ Gel illuminates under UV light, showing where actual germs would reside. After washing their hands, students return to the classroom to see how well they washed away the “germs” under the UV light.

Nurse Rose shared, “When I started in the District, I wanted to be in the buildings so students knew that there was a nurse in the District. I came up with this activity so that the kids would get to know me and also benefit from the experiment.”
