Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As we engage in a hygiene health unit of study, we strive to create a supportive and healthy environment for all our students in our classroom. One of the critical aspects of this is ensuring that every student has access to essential personal hygiene and period products. Unfortunately, not all students have the means to obtain these items, which can lead to feelings of embarrassment, distraction from learning, and a decline in overall well-being.

By donating personal hygiene products such Always Feminine Pads, Period Kits, deodorant, tooth brushes, tooth paste and more, you can help us address these challenges.

These items not only promote hygiene and health, but, also foster a sense of dignity and self-care among our students.

When students feel comfortable and confident in their personal hygiene, they are more likely to engage fully in their education and participate in classroom activities.
