My Project

This project will help restock our Self Care closet for our students at Adult Education. Items will help them stay warm, fed, and well groomed as we enter the winter season. Many do so much for their families and friends and forget to take care of themselves.

Students need to feel well groomed, warm, and fed before they can truly begin to work.

Being an adult back to school to earn a high school diploma can be stressful; asking for help for simple self care items can be even harder.

Ms. Grandfield Schimanski will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 8.
