My Project

Many of my students come to school out of uniform because they don't have a clean uniform or are unable to replace old uniforms. I keep extra uniforms in my office to provide for students to feel confident in the classroom. With my middle school students, I also have spray deodorant and perfume spray. I never want lack of uniform to be a reason they miss school.

The unfortunate rise of norovirus has led to students having accidents and needing a change of clothes.

The underpants and pants will be kept in the nurse's office. The snacks are to provide for growing middle schoolers with healthy increased appetites that need food to energize and stay focused.
