Basic Needs Met

Help me give my students personal care items to meet basic everyday needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sullivan's classroom raised $199

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of the items in my "Basic Needs Met" project is for the students who come to school each day without their hair brushed, in knots and not put in a pony tail. My hope with these resources is I will be able to take care of all those students with a fresh hair brush with detangler, and put a pony tail in. With the lip balm and lotions, it will be accessible to all students when they need it for dry lips or hands. The winter hats will also be given to each student to keep so they are warm for recess and the bus stop each day.
