GIANT Featured in the Reckitt®'s 2024 Social Impact Investment Report!
Reckitt®, the company behind Lysol® products, released their annual social impact investment report sharing the impact of their various programs designed to build a cleaner and healthier world. We are thrilled and honored to announce that The GIANT Room’s partnership with Lysol® in their Here For Healthy Schools program was one of the report’s highlights!
In case you missed it, GIANT and Lysol® teamed up to create a series of Minilabs Science Kits, created with the intention to help students learn about the science of microbes, encourage positive hygiene habits, and reduce absenteeism in schools across the United States. The project included the creation of a complete program including hands-on science kits, lesson plans, teacher resources, at home connections, as well as professional development for participating teachers. The program is completely free for all schools to access digitally, and the physical hands-on science kids were donated to 4,000 Title 1 first and second grade classrooms, thanks to the generous funding provided by Reckitt® Social Impact fund.
