My Project

Over the years, I have witnessed students in need of personal hygiene items. Students often forget to wear antiperspirants to school. These young people were embarrassed and anxious. However, they felt comfortable enough to ask me for whatever they needed. I also inconspicuously place fragrant items around our class.

I would like to continue to use Febreze and Lysol products to keep our class fresh and clean.

These products protect us and camouflages body odors that may permeate the class. Additionally, I have also purchased various items for students to take home to use. I'm a firm believer that smelling good makes you feel good.
