My Project

Creating a learning environment where students feel clean, confident, and comfortable directly supports their ability to focus and engage. Providing items like deodorant, lotion, body spray, and toilet wipes meets basic hygiene needs, helping students avoid embarrassment and distraction. Hair spray and oil diffusers contribute to a sense of personal care and a calming atmosphere. Trash bags ensure cleanliness, reinforcing respect for the shared space. When students' physical and emotional needs are acknowledged, they are more likely to participate fully and positively.

What makes my students special is their resilience and potential, even when facing challenges beyond the classroom.

Many navigate difficult home lives or limited resources, yet they arrive eager to learn. By offering small comforts, I show them they matter, and that school is a safe, welcoming place where they can be their best selves.
