Enjoying the beauty and health benefits provided by the environment is important; however, we must be aware of the protective practices necessary to enjoy safely.  The SunWise program is a free environmental and health education program to teach K–8 children about sun safety, UV radiation, and stratospheric ozone. Educators who join the SunWise program receive a FREE tool kit with over 50 cross-curricular, standards-based activities and a UV-sensitive Frisbee for hands-on learning and physical fitness.

You can register for the program if you have:

• An educator of at least 10 students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade
• A single class, school, or whole entire school district
• An afterschool educator, a teacher trainer, a university professor, a camp counselor, or other group or individual working
• A county or state health, recreation, or education department               To participate in the SunWise program, you must be a part of at least one of the following SunWise activities:
  • Cross-curricular classroom lessons
  • UV measurement and reports on the internet
  • Reaching out to the community and inviting guest speakers to form business partnerships
  • School-wide sun safety activities (school assemblies or other programs)                                                                  from the beginning, the goal of the SunWise program has been to educate children and adults who care for them, about the risks in their health, associated with the UV radiation, and also how to protect yourself from it.. Skin cancer cases still continue to be more prevalent.

    Teaching children about sun safety at an early age helps to show them a lifetime of healthy habits. It is estimated that by 2015 the SunWise education will have helped more than 11,000 cases of skin cancer and 50 premature deaths. While this program is very effective, it has also proven to be far reaching to others.
