Clean and Ready for School

Help me give my students items to fill their hygiene kits that they can use at home and at school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. J.N. McMeans-Howard's classroom raised $219

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am teaching my boys at my school that hygiene does matter and is very important. The teachers and I are putting together hygiene kits for each male student that will include items for oral care and personal care. We need deodorant and small cosmetic bags.

Our goal is to fill up the bags with everything from toothbrushes and mouthwash, deodorant, lotion, tissue, and much more.

We want each bag to be stuffed with items students can carry home and keep at school.

Our goal is to also refill these bags again before the school year ends. Help us keep our boys fresh and clean. It will benefit us all!
