Students come from diverse backgrounds and face various challenges, yet they show up each day eager to learn and grow. Providing them with personal hygiene products is crucial for fostering their confidence and well-being, directly impacting their learning ability.
Our primary goal is to ensure that every student feels equipped and confident in their personal care, enabling them to thrive academically and socially.
We aim to foster a supportive school environment where all students can flourish without the worry of basic necessities like hygiene products and snacks.
Our students support one another and bring unique perspectives that enrich our classroom. Despite the challenges they face, their enthusiasm for learning and their willingness to help each other make our school a vibrant place.
By addressing their basic hygiene needs, we can empower them to focus on their education and confidently pursue their dreams.
Nearly all 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
