My Project

Cleaning supplies are indispensable in school settings for maintaining a safe, healthy, and conducive learning environment. Please help us clean up after scientific experiments! The presence of a multitude of students in close quarters increases the risk of spreading germs and infections, especially when we are doing STEM food-based learning activities. Proper hygiene and sanitation practices are essential to prevent the transmission of illnesses among students, teachers, and staff. Cleaning supplies, including disinfectants, sanitizers, and cleaning tools, play a crucial role in keeping classrooms, common areas, and facilities clean and free from harmful germs.

A clean school environment also contributes to the overall well-being and morale of students and staff, letting our learners continue to engage in STEM learning.

A tidy and organized space creates a positive atmosphere that supports focus, productivity, and a sense of pride in the school community. Cleaning supplies enable schools to address spills, stains, and messes promptly, promoting a visually appealing and welcoming environment.
