Teens have a busy life with school work, athletic practices, outside interests, and a social life. Getting sick can really cause them to fall behind.

This year, we have to dodge the flu and the 2009 H1N1 virus.

To help spread the word about flu prevention, former American Idol finalist Danny Gokeyand The Clorox Company have joined forces to bring you I Don’t Want to Miss…, a national campaign designed to get teens and their teachers involved in flu prevention.

Part of getting the word out is a contest that invites school musical groups, like glee clubs, show choirs, etc. to develop a video performance of a song written by Berklee College of Music student Will Wells on what they don’t want to miss out on if they were home sick and why prevention is important.

The winning school will win a music class led by former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey!

For each entry submitted, The Clorox Company will donate $100 (up to $10,000) to the Sophia’s Heart Foundation, a charity founded by Gokey in honor of his late wife, Sophia, and dedicated to helping children achieve academic success via musical training and restoring musical dreams in children.

In addition to vaccination, disinfecting frequently touched surfaces and washing hands often play an important role in prevention.

I teach preschool and have seen some disturbing contamination scenarios involving a large set of wooden building blocks and mucus. I don’t even want to go there.

Visit the Clorox page on Facebook to learn more. For the first 100 groups to submit, the teacher will receive a wellness care package from The Clorox Company.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Clorox and received $20 thank-you gift certificate.
