To promote sun-safe behavior at an early age, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the SunWise Program, a free national environmental and health education program for children. Through the use of classroom, school, and community components, SunWise promotes sun safety by teaching children and their caregivers how to protect themselves from overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The program is designed for kindergarten through eighth grade learning levels. Any K-8 school can participate. By joining EPA's SunWise Program, participants will have access to useful tools to help teach sun-safe behaviors in the classroom, such as: The SunWise Tool Kit - providing a range of cross-curricular lessons, activities, and background information for K-8 children; The SunWise Internet Learning Site (www.epa.gov/sunwise) - an interactive medium with web-based educational activities and resources; Additional materials, puzzles, posters, and activities, such as the Mission SunWise storybook and activity book.
