Basic Care Supplies For Middle School Students

Help me give my students feminine hygiene products, toothbrushes, snacks, and other supplies for the ability to focus on their education and not on their basic needs such as personal hygiene and hunger.

My Project

Students often come to school without their basic needs being met. This causes them to be distractable and unmotivated. Providing students with peace of mind through snacks and hygiene care items allows them to focus on their learning and put their best efforts into each class.

By supporting the students at the root of their needs, they will be more successful and achieve greater results in their academic pursuits.

Many students struggle with focus and completing work because of distractions outside of school. This project will help minimize the effects of out of school problems.
