My Project
Many of us take for granted something as simple as clean clothes. Sadly, for many of my students not being able to dry their clothes is a reality and a barrier to coming to school. Our school is in a very rural area. Unless you have a washer and dryer at your house, the closest laundry mat may be the next county over.
School attendance and success should not be determined by if a student has clean clothes.
Here is where I need your help. I have a working washer in my room. My students help out by doing laundry during the day that is dropped off. Unfortunately, our dryer is constantly breaking down. Our maintenance guy has done a great job patching it together over the years, but we need a new dryer. Help my class provide this help to our community so students can continue to come to school.
More than a third 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
