Help me give my students and the rest of the first-grade loaner clothes for when they have accidents at school.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I'd like to keep a few changes of clothes on hand so students don't have to wait for parents to pick them up or bring them clothes. In our area, many parents can't leave work and have no one to help them. So students sometimes spend the rest of the day in the nurse's office in soiled clothing.
Even if parents do manage to provide clothes or pick up their child, that child loses precious instructional minutes waiting in the office or missing the rest of the day.
We will ask parents to wash the borrowed pants and return them so we have a steady supply. However, the underwear will be kept at home for obvious reasons. But we can supplement as needed if we could just get a running start.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
