My Project

My students are not able to bring the things they need to school as we have a no-backpack policy. My girls need feminine products to feel clean and comfortable when they are on their period.

My girls are in great need of feminine products to use when Aunt Flo comes.

This project is providing both regular and super Tampax tampons to be held in our classrooms for our students to use as needed. Your donations will be a blessing to my girls with feminine products being so expensive in stores now. I want my students to be focused on learning while at school.
