Fighting Period Poverty!

Help me give my students menstrual pads! Many of my female students’ families are unfortunately unable to afford feminine hygiene products. These pads will help my female students feel cared for, comfortable, and secure in their school environment!

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 Students

I’m a 5th grade math teacher at a Title I K-8 school in South Florida, where a whopping 85% of our students are on free or reduced lunch. Poverty in our local community is an undeniable reality. Many of our students are recently-arrived Latin American immigrant families struggling to make their American Dreams reality. Our school counselor and staff do our best to help our students in many ways. We offer our all students free basic school supplies, bookbags, snacks, a washer & dryer for clothes on campus, health screenings, etc.

My Project

As I mentioned before, 85% of students at our school are on free or reduced lunch, and many of our students’ families struggle to make ends meet. Our school counselor and staff help care for as many of our students’ basic needs as we can, and one of the most urgent is our female students’ need for menstrual pads.

Period poverty is a very real issue many of our community’s families face.

Our school counselor and myself are aware of this issue, and we work in tandem to try and provide my entire grade level with access to free pads whenever our female students should need them. I also often have prior students of mine from previous years knock on my door to request sanitation products, too. Unfortunately, our supplies have dwindled, so we appeal to your generosity for help!

Please help me give my female students free access to menstrual pads whenever they need it and are unprepared for their monthly visit. No female student should have to feel uncomfortable, nervous, and unengaged in her studies because she does not have access to a feminine hygiene product!
