This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Having a designated space to store clothes for students who may not have clean clothing for school is an essential part of fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Many students face challenges outside of school that can impact their ability to arrive at school dressed in clean, appropriate clothing. For these students, access to clean clothes can make a significant difference in their confidence, comfort, and overall ability to succeed in the classroom.
Providing a storage space for clothing not only ensures that these students have access to necessary resources but also helps to reduce the stigma that can come with not having clean clothes.
When students feel secure in knowing they can obtain clean clothes when needed, they are more likely to focus on their studies rather than feeling self-conscious or distracted by their appearance.
Moreover, having such a resource demonstrates to students that their well-being is valued and that they are supported both academically and emotionally. It creates a safer, more equitable classroom environment where all students can learn without worrying about personal circumstances that may otherwise hinder their participation. By addressing these basic needs, we are giving students the opportunity to thrive academically and feel like they belong in the school community.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
