6th Grade Stinks!

Help me give my students personal hygiene items so they can feel confident, cared for, and ready to succeed.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kohls's classroom raised $195

My Project

Here are several key reasons students should have access to personal hygiene items:

Improves Health and Well-being: Access to items like soap, deodorant, menstrual products, and toothpaste helps prevent illness and promotes overall physical health.

Reduces Absenteeism: Lack of hygiene products, especially menstrual supplies, can cause students to miss school. Providing these items ensures consistent attendance.

Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem: Good personal hygiene can make students feel more confident and comfortable in social and academic settings.

Promotes Equity: Not all students can afford hygiene products. Offering them for free helps level the playing field and supports low-income families.

Enhances Focus and Learning: When students aren’t worried about hygiene needs or discomfort, they can focus better on learning.

Encourages Healthy Habits: Making hygiene items available reinforces the importance of daily hygiene and builds lifelong self-care habits.

Reduces Bullying and Stigma: Poor hygiene can lead to bullying. Providing items helps protect students from embarrassment and social exclusion.
