Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Being in need of basic toiletries in Middle School can be distracting for any student walking the halls on a daily basis. No one wants to feel like they are being made fun of for the way they take care of their hygienic needs.

Help me supply stock drawers in a central location in my classroom so my students can access hygiene supplies such as toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, lotion, mouthwash, and feminine products as they may see fit.

I have always found that students are more likely to present at school more focused if they know they have access to emergency supplies.
