My Project

As children get older, their brains begin to mature, but so do the rest of their body! These supplies will be given out later in the year, to aline with their health standards

My grade level and I want to ensure that all students have the things they need to support them as their bodies grow and change, so we wanted to provide each student with a personal care kit!

All students will receive a bag with body wipes and deodorant. We also wanted to provide students with feminine products if needed.
