My Project

I spend money every month to make sure that my students have access to high quality mentrual products. It is shocking that many students with periods lack access to the monthly menstrual products that they need to have a safe and sanitary period. I keep tampons, panty liners and menstrual pads accessible on a "needs" table by our classroom door with the bandaids, hand sanitizer, lotion and tissues. All students on our campus know they can come to my classroom to get the supplies they need to feel clean and safe and focus on learning!
