My Project

I teach a wonderful group of third graders who are eager to learn and grow each day. A clean and organized classroom is essential for their health, focus, and overall success.

The cleaning supplies I’m requesting, a broom, dustpan, trash can, trash bags, air sanitizer spray, hand soap, paper towels, electronic cleaning wipes, and Swiffer floor wipes, will help maintain a fresh, germ-free space.

These items will allow us to quickly clean up spills, sanitize frequently touched surfaces, and keep our classroom environment safe and welcoming.

My goal is to create a learning space where students feel comfortable and cared for. With your support, I can ensure my students have a clean classroom that promotes good hygiene, minimizes distractions, and keeps them focused on learning.
