My Project

The COVID-19 pandemic and seasonal colds have impacted my students socially and academically. Many of my students have missed ten or more days this school year, and their frequent absences have resulted in limited academic progress. I want to keep them healthy and in school where they can participate in social-emotional learning activities to help them learn the coping skills needed to succeed in school and life. We ran out of cleaning supplies in the first quarter, and I have been purchasing the items required to keep our classroom clean. A vacuum, Clorox wipes, dusting cloths, and paper towels will help keep our classroom clean.

Please help me keep my classroom clean and students healthy and germ-free.

My first graders spend much of the school day on the carpet; we do not own a vacuum to keep it clean. I would appreciate your support in getting the requested items so my students have a sanitary place to learn and play.
