Help me give my students the ability to maintain a healthy environment in their classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. O'Brien's classroom raised $589

My Project

8th grade is a time of transition utilizing common spaces. It is also a time for changes as students are turning into young adults. We need safe, clean spaces to continue our growth and education.

Supplies are needed to maintain a clean, safe environment.

Cleaning supplies for the science lab; health supplies for sniffles and various accidents (paper cuts are the worst); and the ability to provide deodorant for growing bodies that cannot afford it are in need.

My students deserve a safe space to grow and develop into learners focused on education. Please help create a clean safe space!
