Some of our amazing 3rd graders' messages are now dermatologist approved -- and just in time for summer! Arabella and Keaton have been working hard to spread the word about sun safety, and thanks to the support of Dr. Alexandra Bowles at Mona Dermatology in Cincinnati, their message is shining brighter than ever. Go visit her Instagram page (dr.alexandrabowles) to see it and share it. Their reminder is simple but powerful: Wear your sunscreen! Whether you're headed to the pool, the park, or just outside for recess, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is super important. Here are some sun-smart facts to keep you cool and safe: - Sunscreen helps protect your skin from UV damage that can lead to sunburns, early aging, and even skin cancer. -You should wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even on cloudy days! - Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating. - Don't forget to cover ears, nose, and the tops of feet - those burn easily! We are so proud of Arabella, Keaton, and all of our STEAM club kids for taking what they learn and using it to make a real difference in their school and community. Their dedication to keeping others safe shows exactly what it means to be a WUES Dragon - smart, caring, and ready to lead. Let's give a big round of applause to those young changemakers! And remember, Dragons: Slay the day -- but not your skin. Wear your sunscreen!
