Care Closet for All Our Needs

Help me give my students a care closet in our school. A place where students can come to take care of any hygiene needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blackwell's classroom raised $942

My Project

Learning is more than books and lessons. Learning is about feeling good about yourself and feeling confident. With this project I want to create a care closet for the students in my school. With products like hair supplies, toothbrushes, socks, feminine products and more. We can give our students the confidence they need to focus on the lessons in the classroom and not worry about their hygiene.

This Care Closet will be just the place we need to supply the needs of our students.

Having a bad hair day? We have hair products and supplies to help with that. Woke up late and forgot your socks? No worry we have extras. Need to brush your teeth? No worries we have plenty of toothbrushes. Life happens and sometimes students don't have the things they need when they come to school. This Care Closet will let us help bridge that gap for families and students. It will give them a place that they know they can come to and get the hygiene products they need. A place to know they can fix their problem or get what they need and get back to class.
