My Project

My students have a lot of things that they have to focus on in third grade. They always show up ready and willing to learn. These students are endure so much with moving around and making new friends.

Personal hygiene is major part of belonging and fitting in.

My students move around a lot and they lack the necessary items to take care of themselves.

With help from you we can make a difference in their lives. Providing them with soap , lotion, chap stick, etc. These students can then focus on their academics.
