My Project

Our school houses roughly 418 students. A middle school is already tough for many students to fit in, have positive relationships and handle stress appropriately. While managing all that, daily necessities such as hygiene products and school supplies might be difficult to come by for various reasons. How a student feels, looks and acts directly impacts their level of performance in the classroom!

How a student feels, looks and is perceived by others directly impacts their level of performance in the classroom and amongst their peers/teachers!

Providing a place where students can get everyday necessities such as femine products, school supplies and hygiene products without everyone knowing is so important when dealing with anxiety, wanting to fit in and even social media pressures.

The goal is to provide such supplies in a manner that is discreet and supportive for all students whenever necessary throughout the day! Knowing that they have a place within their school to gain such supplies will help decrease some stressors that many encounter throughout the day.
