My Project

Currently, our class does not have a student care closet. I would like to create one where our elementary students can have access to items that their parents might not be able to purchase or obtain. The care closet provides hygiene items such as toothpaste, bandages, and underclothes.

Students are not successful in the classroom if their social and emotional needs are not being met.

I would like to try to ease any obstacles or burdens our students may have by providing these materials for our students. My goal is to reach more students by having my care closet fully stocked with items they may need readily available. Overall, I would like my care closet to reach the kindergarten students in my class. Any and every donation is such a huge help, and I am so grateful
