My Project

As educators, we know the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy classroom environment, especially for students with special needs. My classroom is home to some of the most incredible young minds, each with their own unique learning needs and challenges. In order to provide them with a safe, comfortable, and engaging space, it’s crucial that our environment is both clean and well-organized.

However, keeping the classroom tidy and sanitized often requires cleaning supplies that our school budget just doesn’t cover.

That’s where your generous donation would make a difference!

Many of our students struggle with sensory processing challenges, so creating a clean and organized environment is key to helping them focus and learn. A clean classroom also helps minimize germs and allergens, which is especially important for students with respiratory conditions or compromised immune systems.

By providing these cleaning supplies like a tissues, hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes you will directly contribute to maintaining a classroom where students can feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. Your donation ensures that our classroom will continue to be a place of support, joy, and growth for all students.
