Baton Rouge, LA Grades PreK-2

My Project

In school, germs are easily spread, and most times it's unavoidable. However, there are items to keep us safe from bacteria being spread in the classroom. We would like to keep everyone safe and healthy while at school and home.

The tissue will be used to protect our hands from spreading germs from sneezing in the air.

The hand sanitizer is used to keep our hands clean from unknown areas.

The colored copy paper is needed to print out resources for supplemental work center and independent work. Also, they will be used for homework and communication for parents, too.

Equity Focus

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
