My Project

During Covid, germs and disinfecting has become bigger problem then ever. Now that the kids are back, germs are spreading and kids are getting sick, especially this time of year. Kids coming to school sick, teachers not having enough disinfecting cleaning supplies.

At this current time, we have a lot of students coming in to leave early, a lot of absents, including teachers.

We spend a lot of time with the students and germs spread fast. Not only do a lot of kids catch whatever is going around, teachers do as well.

With these supplies we can not just clean the classroom but disinfect the room. Preventing more germs, ending the illness. With the tissues they can have something more comfortable to wipe there nose without causing irritation to everyone's nose.

With this project, I'm going to end the cycle virus change, bring teachers and students back to class, and get everyone healthy again. With your support we can off germs and the unless of sick days/Absents. Everyone can get back on track, and feel so much better.
