Growing With Confidence - Puberty Bags

Help me give my students sublimation-ready canvas tote bags to create personalized cheer and tween puberty bags filled with helpful, encouraging items that celebrate confidence, self-care, and growing up.

Ms. Edwards W.G. Pearson Elementary School

Durham, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

As an elementary cheer coach, I love how my 3rd–5th grade students are energetic, caring, resilient, and always willing to support one another. At this age, their bodies begin to change, and they may have questions or feelings about growing up. I want to help them understand that these changes are a normal part of growing and that they should feel confident, comfortable, and prepared.

These sublimation canvas tote bags will allow me to create personalized Cheer & Tween Puberty Bags filled with age-appropriate self-care and puberty resources.

This project will give students a fun and creative way to express themselves while learning about personal hygiene, self-care, body changes, and confidence. Most importantly, I want each student to know that growing up is something to embrace and that they are supported every step of the way.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
