- TERRA® Essential Oils in
do
the
Classroom
Whether at a public school or homeschool, essential oils can have numerous benefits for kids as well
as teachers. Jessa Johnson is a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate and a mother of two. Both of her
boys have been attending the Castle Rock Christian Academy in Colorado since 2012. In 2014,
shortly after joining dōTERRA, Jessa donated “clean hands spray” and diffusers with a bottle of dōTERRA
On Guard® to every classroom and teacher. After noticing positive results, a majority of the classrooms at Castle Rock are now diffusing essential oils daily. One of the main differences they’ve
noticed is the reduced number of absences for students and teachers. Out of 19 teachers, less than
14 leave days were used during the 2015/2016 schoolyear—less than half the days used in prior years.
The school also took a non-toxic cleaning route with
products that are safe for both kids and faculty
members. They use dōTERRA On Guard® Foaming
Hand Wash in preschool bathrooms and dōTERRA
On Guard Cleaner Concentrate to clean tables and
desks. Principal Torrence Jackson says, "Principals all over America know that safety is a number
one concern in our schools. Thanks to the help of
dōTERRA, our students can successfully learn in
an environment that is pro-active about health and
wellness."
Most of the faculty members personally use
dōTERRA essential oils at home. “I’ve seen such
an incredible change in my own family's immunity,
focus, and overall health,” says Jess Johnson. And
Principal Jackson adds, “It is not an easy feat
keeping up with the next generation of leaders!
I am thankful to have a restful night’s sleep with
dōTERRA Lavender oil."

Jenni Smith, the Preschool Director, was introduced to dōTERRA over two years ago. After using
dōTERRA On Guard in her home, Jenni became a
believer. She has been instrumental in introducing
oils to the school. Because of her trust in the products
at home, it was easy to implement them at school.
She says, “One parent said after touring the school
that it sealed the deal for her when she saw the
dōTERRA diffuser!”
Shelly Martinez, preschool teacher and parent,
uses dōTERRA On Guard and Wild Orange in her
classroom every day to cleanse the air of "unpredictable" smells. She feels it also helps the kids
stay focused.
Stacie Groves, third grade teacher and mom,
diffuses Lime and dōTERRA On Guard daily in her
classroom. “I let the kids take turns picking out oils
and putting them in the diffuser themselves. They
love it and ask for it daily.”
