Healthy Spaces for Growing Minds

Help me give my students Clorox wipes and cleaning supplies that will create a healthy learning environment where they can thrive.

My Project

A clean classroom is essential for student health, focus, and daily learning. By providing disinfecting wipes, Lysol disinfectant spray, and other cleaning supplies, we can reduce the spread of germs, lower student absences, and create a healthier environment where children feel safe and ready to learn. These supplies help maintain cleaner surfaces, improve overall classroom hygiene, and support a learning space where every student can thrive.

My goal is to provide my students with the safest, healthiest learning environment possible.

I care for them as I would my own children, and having essential cleaning supplies readily available helps me protect their well‑being every day. With consistent access to disinfecting wipes and other supplies—without relying on repeated requests to families—I can maintain a clean classroom, reduce the spread of germs, and give parents peace of mind knowing their child is learning in a well‑cared‑for space.

The rug will allow students to have personal space for exploring during playtime. The drawing paper will allow students to express their feelings and things they like, and they will be able to share their art with the class. The laminating pockets will be a way to keep students' work for months to come.

What makes my students so special to me is their eagerness to learn and the trust they place in me every day. They know I care deeply for them and believe in their ability to grow at their own pace. I truly believe it takes a village to support a child’s education, and your contribution to this project becomes part of that village. With your support, you’re helping create a classroom community where students feel loved, supported, and ready to learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
