My Project

My students are a wonderful bunch of people. They are eager to learn despite the many challenges that they encounter daily. Many students are in need of the items requested, including deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste and wipes. I believe that helping them feel good about themselves will make a positive difference in their learning.

I hope to use these items to encourage proper hygiene habits and to help with self esteem.

I know that receiving these items will help them to achieve healthy hygiene habits and help them to have positive interactions with their peers and other adults with whom they interact.
