My Project
As the season changes, so does the sniffles, runny noses, sneezing, coughing and minor cold, which opens the door to bacterias, viruses and protozoa. We are constantly cleaning the germ hot-spots, because our little people are not yet aware of the germs that transfers, accumulates and lingers in and throughout the classroom. Germs are easily transferred throughout our classroom common places such as desks/tables doorknobs, faucet knobs, classroom supplies, shared eating trays and placemats. Eating, food showing and food sharing becomes a bit messy as the students eat breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper in the classroom.
Offensively, we tackle the germiest areas regularly because a good offense is a strong defense.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student wellness but ultimately help to improve the classroom’s air quality, airborne germs, reduce some common staphylococcus aureus and common staphylococcus epidermis.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
