Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Nearly every woman has experienced the embarrassment of unexpectedly getting her period at school. It happens pretty frequently in middle school and many young girls are still learning how to be prepared and handle the situation. Most of our students' parents work full-time and cannot answer the phone during the school day and girls are stuck at school with no change of clothes.

These supplies will save girls the embarrassment of being stuck at school with her menses.

Additionally, young women tend to have more intense cramping and pain associated with menstruation and are unable to be provided with medication. A heating pad, fresh change of clothes, and a handful of chocolate can take a terrible-awful-no-good-very-bad day to one that could've been much worse.

Please take the time and generosity to provide these blossoming young women with a safe space to go when mom isn't answering the phone and Mother Nature has extremely inconvenient timing.

Grades 6-8
