My Project

This year was my first year in sixth grade and I have a personal hygiene drawer. The students are allowed to grab what they need when they need it. The students also request items. The items that I spent the most money on included deodorant and lip balm.

We all know that middle schoolers smell.

Purchasing these items in bulk will save throughout the next school year.

For this project, I have requested lip balm, deodorant, first period kits (because they are at this age), and air freshener. Thank you for your consideration.
