McKinley's I Love Me Campaign
Funded May 28, 2019We here at McKinley cant thank you all enough for your donations. When we signed up for Donors choose we never thought we would receive such a wonderful turnout of support and generosity. Our students have benefited tremendously from your support. Some of our students come from single parent homes or reside in places where hygiene is not taught or prioritized. With your support we have been successful in building confidence and promote healthy life style regimen within our students.
The students are grateful for the supplies because some of them do not have access to these supplies at home nor have an adult who can teach them proper personal hygiene especially associated with their gender. Your donation has given us the opportunity to build closer relationship with our student by ensuring them they have a safe place to share their barriers and in turn results in their success academically, socially, and personally.
The sample size products work well for students who need them and want to remain confidential about receiving products. In addition we are able to use these products as teaching points. For example, some students learned how often to change toothbrushes and which new products to use to help them through new developmental stages.
Thank you again, for funding McKinley's I Love Me Program and supporting our mission of fostering students health, wellness and positive self esteem.”

McKinley's I Love Me Campaign
Funded Jun 12, 2019We can't thank you enough for sponsoring the McKinley's I love me campaign. The students were so excited to learn of all the new items we would be receiving. Once they were received the magic started. I was able to take the items and distribute them attached with a lesson on self care. The hairdryers gave me the opportunity to teach our students on how to manage their hair appropriately and keep their hair from damage. 13 is a hard age, a time of change and insecurity. With these items I along with my guidance friends were am able to give our students make overs and help them to learn how to manage their hygiene and physical appearance.”
With gratitude,
