Educators receive SDA "Clean Homes, Healthy Families Award," "It's A SNAP" program earns CDC Award
The Soap and Detergent Association recognized two educators for
innovative, educational programs that link clean homes with good health
for the third year in a row at the recent National Extension
Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (NEAFCS) Convention in
Philadelphia. The "Clean Homes, Healthy Families Award" was presented
to Carrie Schneider Miller and Johanna Hicks during a banquet that
gathered more than 900 educators from across the country.

In addition, the "Healthy Schools, Healthy People, It's a SNAP" program
has received the 2005 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Horizon Health Education Award. The award recognizes outstanding health
education programs that have been in existence for 2-4 years.
The program was recently honored during the 7th Annual Health Education
Day awards luncheon at CDC. The awards program theme for the day was
"Valuing Connections: A Health Education Principal," which truly
exemplifies the foundation of the SNAP program.
The "Healthy Schools, Healthy People, It's a SNAP" program is a joint
effort of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of
Health and Human Services and The Soap and Detergent Association. The
program raises awareness of the importance of good hand hygiene and
encourages middle school communities to improve health. For more
