Easy Access to Hygiene Products in Health Class When Needed

Funded Nov 10, 2024

I want to thank you all once again for contributing to our easy access health class hygiene bin. This is a valuable resource for all of my students to have access to what they need on a daily basis. This long term project, has the greatest impact on healthy hygiene habits for my Geneva Middle School students. Teaching kids hygiene for a few days, giving them some deodorant one day of the year, doesn't change habits. Having access in the classroom and a visible bin to remind them, does.

When my students came to health class and saw the bin fully stocked and available, it's changed the stigma around these products and made them "cool" and fun to use.

I am attaching some photos of our bin so you can see the impact you've made in my students lives. Getting this project fully funding within days of sharing it with my GMS parents, has truly made my heart so happy. To get that support and funding handled SO quickly was amazing. In a world where people are so quick to focus on their differences, it was nice to know that all people can agree that middle school students, need good hygiene. One topic, we can all agree on right now. Thank you SO much! You're all part of the GMS Hygiene Fairy Crew ; )”

With gratitude,

Ms. Brand
