My Project
My students come to class ready to learn, grow, and support one another. They are kind, hardworking, and full of energy. Many rely on school as a safe and stable environment, and I do everything I can to make our classroom feel welcoming and comfortable.
To keep our classroom clean, safe, and running smoothly, I request basic hygiene supplies: disinfectant wipes, facial tissues, paper towels, hand sanitiser, and lotion.
These items help students stay healthy, clean, and focused. Whether it's wiping down shared surfaces, sneezing into a tissue, or applying hand sanitiser after lunch, these simple routines keep germs away and help our classroom function at its best. Lotion is beneficial during colder months when dry skin becomes a distraction.
A clean classroom is a healthy classroom. With these supplies, students can stay focused on learning instead of worrying about germs, messes, or discomfort. Your donation helps create a safe, respectful learning environment where students feel confident and cared for daily.
