My Project

In today’s classroom, a clean and safe environment is essential for effective learning. The specific items I am requesting—Clorox wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizers—will directly contribute to the health and well-being of my students, allowing them to focus on their studies rather than worrying about germs or illness. By providing these supplies, we can minimize disruptions caused by sickness and ensure that students stay engaged and healthy throughout the school year.

The Clorox wipes, tissues and hand sanitizers will help keep desks, shared materials, and frequently touched surfaces clean, preventing the spread of germs.

Hand sanitizers will encourage students to regularly clean their hands, promoting healthier habits throughout the day. Tissues will help students manage minor illnesses or allergies without interrupting their learning. These essential hygiene supplies will ensure that my students can remain in the classroom, stay focused on their studies, and enjoy a safer and healthier learning experience.

What makes my students special is their resilience and eagerness to learn, despite the challenges they may face. Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds, and they bring unique perspectives to the classroom. They are hardworking, motivated, and always ready to help one another. By ensuring they have the resources to stay healthy, we are giving them the best opportunity to thrive academically and socially.

Your contribution to this project will not only provide the necessary tools for cleanliness but also support my students’ growth and success in a positive and safe environment.
