I am currently a third grade teacher in a high needs area. My students are diverse learners and the classroom would benefit from Lysol disinfecting wipes, tissues, and paper towels.
The majority of the students in my school are struggling financially.
Most students qualify for the state's free or reduced rate meal program. Due to the budget cuts schools are facing, teachers in my school are no longer able to personally give each student the resources they desire. Supplying my students/classroom with this material will hopefully reduce the spread of germs.
My Project
Since my students come from low-income homes, it would be a real challenge for their parents to take off of work and still be able to afford the basic necessities for the home. Unfortunately, that leaves some parents stuck between a rock and a hard place, choosing to leave their sick child home alone or sending them to school where they spread their germs to others. Also, if students are constantly sick, that leaves gaps in their education. Think about all the lessons and discoveries they will miss! With your help, our classroom will be prepared to fight a battle in the cold and flu season. The children will be able to utilize materials under supervision and using gloves. As for the cleaners, I will be using it to clean their desk so it will always be germ free. These steps to avoid germs promotes a healthy environment, and it embodies the lesson that is taught throughout the city HIV (how to avoid germs and keep yourself heathy).
Please support my project and provide my class with germ killing Lysol wipes, tissues, paper towels.
This will help keep our classroom a healthy environment. Thanks so much for your consideration.
