The company presented 486 boxes of KLEENEX(R) Anti-Viral* Facial Tissue and 240 bottles of KIMCARE(R) Moisturizing Instant Hand Sanitizer to the school’s principal, Fr. John Kiselica.
“February is still the height of the flu season so we wanted to make sure Divine Child High School had what they needed to weather the rest of it,” said Jackie B. Martin of Kimberly-Clark Professional.
Divine Child High School was closed January 27th and 28th after more than 20 percent of the school’s approximately 900 students came down with the flu. The closure gave the school an opportunity to disinfect classrooms and enabled students to rest and recover, according to Fr. Kiselica.
“The donation will get us through the remainder of the flu season as well as the rest of the school year,” Fr. Kiselica said. “It will be very helpful to have this for our students and staff.”
