Helping Students Thrive Through Hygiene

Help me give my students access to essential hygiene supplies that support health, confidence, and learning.

Ms. Buncum Villa Heights Elementary School

Charlotte, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

Every day, our students come to school eager to learn, grow, and succeed. However, many of our children face challenges outside the classroom that can impact their confidence and ability to focus. Access to basic hygiene products is one of those challenges.

At our school, we serve a diverse community of learners, and many families are working hard to meet their daily needs.

By providing essential hygiene items such as deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, tissues, and other personal care supplies, we can help ensure that every student feels clean, comfortable, and confident throughout the school day.

When students have access to these necessities, they are better able to focus on learning, participate in classroom activities, and build positive relationships with their peers. Hygiene products not only support physical health but also promote self-esteem, dignity, and overall well-being.

These supplies will be available through our school support programs and provided discreetly to students who may need them throughout the year. Your support will help remove barriers to learning and allow our students to focus on what matters most—their education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
