Cleaning Supplies

Help me give my students cleaning supplies (hand soap, dish soap, cleaning wipes, disinfectant spray, and sponges) for a healthy start to the year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kretschmer's classroom raised $172

My Project

We need cleaning supplies! Since it's almost the start of the new school year, students will be piling into the classrooms after a long summer break. Not only will they bring their new school supplies but also viruses and other microbes that can get us all sick. Having constant access to disinfecting wipes and hand soap will help slow the spread of illness. Even more, we have several fun (and messy) labs planned throughout the new school year that will require some heavy-duty cleanup. These new cleaning supplies will help me do that!

New cleaning supplies are ESSENTIAL for maintaining the cleanliness of the classroom, cleaning up after messy labs, and fighting off viruses and other illnesses that would keep us out of school.

This supply I am requesting will be enough to last us through the entire first semester of school this year.
