My Project

Tampons are an essential need for our students. We want to give them a comfortable choice to come get what they need when they have forgotten what they need at home or get surprised. In the nurse's office, we see many students each day seeking pads and tampons. Some even take some home with them. These tampons will be kept in our office or given out to our teachers to help students stay in school, even when they are unprepared. Please give us the ability to help our students in this way!
