My Project

Kindergarten students are notorious for their lack of proficiency with hand washing.

We don't want to miss a day at school.

Clean hands, healthy body, more time at school! These hand wipes will help to ensure that my students are clearing away the germs and not transferring them to their friends or classroom supplies.

One of the major causes of students falling behind is their attendance. I want to provide as many ways as possible to assist in maintaining healthy hygiene practices.

We are learning and growing every day, we don't have a single day to lose!
