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
My students are amazing! I would like them to remain healthy and at school. Hand hygiene, especially thorough handwashing, is very significant for students. Beyond being a simple routine, it is a fundamental practice that safeguards their health and well-being.
By consistently washing their hands, students contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment within educational settings, preventing absenteeism due to illnesses and fostering a positive atmosphere for learning.
As a cornerstone of preventive health measures, handwashing empowers students to take charge of their own health and extends its benefits to their peers, teachers, and the larger community, promoting overall safety and well-being.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
